BBQ Sauce - anyone ever made Gates?
I live in Iowa and have only heard rave reviews about Gates BBQ, so I decided to try and make it with a recipe I found on the net.
Anyone ever try this recipe? It doesn't taste too great to me. Is it even close to right? |

Blehh...
Two quarts of store bought ketchup as your main adjunct? And besides, you can't make Kansas City BBQ sauce without molasses. "Really tomato ketchup Eddie?" "Nothing but the best Clark." |

I sort of followed that gates one but added molasses and whiskey, a nice peaty smokey whiskey, damn it turned out good.

Actually, after mixing it a little better and letting it sit, it tastes alright. How much molasses and whiskey? My g/f doesn't exactly like it, her daughter LOVES it though. I think sweetening up a small batch might make my g/f happy.

I didnt really measure. I just poured some in of each if I had to guess it was like a half of cup of whiskey and a bit more of the molasses.

I can get 3-4 varieties of Gates sauce here. When I'm back in Des Moines now though I always pick up Jackstack sauce at Gateway Market. That's the sauce I wish I could get here. Gates is better, but you always want what you can't have right?

So does Jack Stack cost $100 to feed 2 people or is that just to have it shipped?

Alright, so here's the deal: Spicy, Regular, Dark and Sweet. Our Wal Mart carries Stubbs, so yours might too. They've got a pretty large distribution. Now the Spicy is a dead-ringer for Gates "Extra Hot", practically no difference whatsoever and I would know; I've ingested gallons of it over the years. The Regular is a mustard base that reminds me of Bryants, but that's never been my thing. The Dark and Sweet is heavier and sweeter than Gates "Sweet and Mild", but it's still a legitimate sauce that doesn't venture in to ketchup thickness or too much molasses. I like to mix one part Spicy to one part Dark and Sweet; it keeps the heat in check and thins out the molasses enough to make one kick ass, legitimate hybrid. Happy smokin'!
