Barbecue Sauce II

3 ingredients Cuisine: American Page updated October 2026

This barbecue sauce needs only three ingredients and no real cooking, so it comes together in the time it takes to measure. Molasses gives the ketchup a dark, bittersweet depth, and a small amount of liquid smoke stands in for hours over a fire. Stir it in a pot, then warm leftover roast pork or chicken in it for a quick sticky supper.

Instructions

Measure the ketchup and molasses into a pot. Add the liquid smoke flavoring.

Stir until the mixture is a single even color with no streaks of molasses left at the bottom of the pot.

To serve, add some pre-cooked meat to the pot. Heat the sauce and meat together until the meat is warmed through and coated in sauce.
