With just a handful of ingredients and a mere 20 minutes from start to finish, this sauce is a game-changer for your barbecue sessions.
In the realm of sauces, this gem falls squarely into the category of Sauces, offering a delightful enhancement to your culinary repertoire. Its versatility shines through, making it a perfect complement to pork, meat, or any dish that could use a touch of Canadian flair. And with a prep time of only 10 minutes, it’s an ideal choice for those seeking a quick and easy culinary triumph.
Let’s delve into the ingredients that make this sauce truly exceptional. You’ll need just four simple components: barbecue sauce, prepared yellow mustard, real maple syrup, and if you’re like me and adore garlic, you can add a tablespoon of chopped garlic for an extra punch of flavor. These ingredients come together harmoniously to create a symphony of taste that will elevate your barbecue experience to new heights.
In terms of nutrition, this sauce boasts a relatively low calorie count, coming in at 355.9 calories per serving. With 3.8 grams of fat, 0.6 grams of saturated fat, and zero cholesterol, it’s a guilt-free indulgence that won’t weigh you down. However, it’s worth noting that the sodium content is on the higher side, with 1622.9 milligrams per serving, so those watching their sodium intake may want to enjoy this sauce in moderation.
But enough about the numbers, let’s talk flavor. The combination of tangy barbecue sauce, zesty mustard, and rich maple syrup creates a perfect balance of sweet and savory notes that dance on your palate with each bite. And if you opt to add garlic, you’ll be rewarded with a subtle yet satisfying undertone that takes this sauce to the next level.
Now, let’s get cooking. The instructions couldn’t be simpler: just mix all the ingredients together in a saucepan, heat and stir until well blended, and then brush the warm sauce onto your ribs during the final 10 minutes of cooking. You can baste as often as you like, but be sure not to cook the ribs for more than 10 minutes with the sauce on them to prevent burning. Any extra sauce can be used as a delectable dip, adding even more flavor to your meal.
And while this sauce is specifically designed for ribs, don’t be afraid to get creative. Cheri suggests that it would work wonderfully with chicken as well, although she admits she hasn’t personally tried it herself. With its versatility and bold flavor profile, there’s no limit to the culinary adventures you can embark on with this Superb BBQ Rib Baste and Dip.
So why wait? Gather your ingredients, fire up the grill, and prepare to tantalize your taste buds with this unforgettable sauce. Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue or simply craving a taste of summer, this recipe is sure to become a staple in your kitchen. Enjoy!
