Tony Roma's Carolina Honey BBQ Sauce

QueenJellyBean's Note:

This is a wonderful honey bbq sauce that we brush on pork spare ribs the last 15 minutes of cooking. It is a copycat recipe for the Tony Roma's restaurant sauce. Makes enough for 4 pounds of ribs.

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Directions:

1. Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan over high heat.
2. Blend with a whisk until smooth.
3. When the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered.
4. In 30-45 minutes when the mixture thickens, remove from heat.
5. If it becomes to thick you can thin it with more vinegar.

This is wonderful! The flavors are perfectly balanced. I used hickory liquid smoke. Can't wait to find something to use this on! Thanks for the recipe! - Apr 20, 2008. Update: I ended up making some boneless pork ribs in the crockpot and shredding them up for sandwiches, with this for the sauce. Delicious! Thanks again!
