Guinness BBQ Sauce
Author: Nicole
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large sweet onions, roughly chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) Guinness Stout
  • ½ cup molasses
  • ½ cup white vinegar
  • 1-1/2 cups light brown sugar
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) tomato paste
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
  1. In a large pot (at least 5 quarts), heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook for about 20 minutes until onions are very soft and a bit caramelized. Add a little water to the pot will cooking, if needed, to prevent sticking (it helps with caramelization, too).
  2. Add Guinness Stout, molasses, white wine vinegar, brown sugar, tomato paste, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper to pot and stir. Raise heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to medium and cook at a slow boil for 10 minutes. Turn heat down to low and cook another 45 minutes. Sauce should be thick when it’s done.
  3. Let cool about 20 minutes. Transfer to a food processor, blender or Vitamix and blend until smooth.
  4. Use immediately or store in refrigerator for a few months or freeze for up to six months.
