This bold Big Sky Badlands BBQ Sauce delivers a complex blend of smoky heat and sweet tanginess, inspired by the rugged flavors of the American West. It starts with a fresh base of minced onion, garlic, ginger, and jalapeño, which are steeped in rice wine vinegar and lime juice to create a vibrant, aromatic foundation. The sauce is then simmered with tomato puree, a robust mix of spices including cumin, coriander, and clove, and finished with molasses and liquid smoke for that authentic barbecue depth. It’s versatile enough to use as a basting sauce for ribs and chicken, a dipping sauce for burgers, or a stir-in for beans.
