Instructions

  1. Put everything in a saucepan, mix well and heat slowly until it starts to boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  2. Good for ribs or grilled meat! If the sauce is not used directly: Let the saucepan cool down to room temperature, fill the contents into a clean glass jar, seal and put in the refrigerator. It will keep for a few weeks.
  3. Tip:
  4. You can get Liquid Smoke on the Internet or in well-stocked supermarkets, I always use Pepper King`s!

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
