Pomegranate Bourbon Barbecue Sauce

Posted on by Claire

pomegranate bourbon barbecue sauce

This barbecue sauce is not traditional or regional (no North Carolina, Kansas City, Memphis, or Texas sauce here); it’s my personal interpretation on what a really tasty barbecue sauce should be. Smoky, spicy, a little vinegary, and a little fruity. Bourbon adds extra smokiness and bite, while playing alongside the tart and sweet flavors of pomegranate molasses. This barbecue sauce is simple to make, and I love having it around to mix into beans, top scrambled eggs, and coat chicken or pork (especially the amazing (and easy) slow cooker pulled pork I’ll be posting the recipe for on Wednesday). This recipe can also be easily adjusted to your taste; feel free to play around with ingredient quantities to arrive on your personal favorite barbecue sauce.

Chicken Adobo

Chicken adobo is a Filipino dish where chicken is marinated and then cooked in a combination of vinegar and soy sauce. I like the flavor from apple cider vinegar (although I’m pretty sure it’s not traditional), and you’ll also want to make sure to use good quality soy sauce. I typically marinate in the same pot I’m planning on cooking it in (if your pot is a temperature-sensitive material, remember to let the pot come to room temperature before putting it on the stove to avoid damaging it with the heat difference) which also makes this an astoundingly easy meal. Chicken adobo is traditionally served over rice to soak up the sauce, and I’ve found I’m also a big fan of peas as a side (as pictured here).

Peach Pie

The Perfect Pie Crust

Summer is ending, and I’m trying to take advantage of the last of the summer produce (and I’ll be posting more great end-of-summer recipes the next couple weeks). If you can still find some fresh local peaches at your farmers’ market or grocery store, snatch them up and make this delicious simple pie. Once you have a batch of the perfect pie crust from the recipe I posted Monday waiting in your refrigerator, this pie can be in your oven in 15 minutes.
