Jeff's BBQ Sauce has been a huge hit!!!! And yes, the heat does intensify as the days/weeks go on. This is what I plan on using from now on.
Could always make another batch without any pepper at all and mix the two together.....Talk about tweaking the recipe. This morning making a new batch of sauce and not wearing my glasses, I added half a cup instead of 1/2 teaspoon of Tabasco sauce. Yowza, yowza, yowza. I questioned myself if I should call the fire department before testing what was coming. You know what? It was good and not especially hotter than the last batch I made last fall. But as time goes on and the heat intensifies I better keep 911 dialed on the phone so all I have to do is press the go button on the phone.
One batch will fit perfectly in two Ketchup squeeze bottles. I use in on grilled hamburgers as well as smoked meat. It is absolutely the best bbq sauce I have ever had.
I'm going to order Jeff's rubs and BBQ sauce but was wondering about the amount of heat in the sauce after reading this post. I love as much heat as I can get but I'm wondering if it might be too spicy for my wife and girls.
Is it really that spicy? Would cutting back on the amount of cayenne make it more mainstream? Or am I better off making sauce for me and giving them something like a Sweet Baby Rays off the shelf?
Just made my first batch this morning. I'm going to have to do something else for me but my daughter loved it and I know my wife will. I like my sauce a bit more mustardy but not full blown Carolina style. I don't like most Chinese restaurant entrees because I don't like sweetness paired with meat.
I typically use 57 sauce on most pork while the girls use Sweet Baby Ray's. Jeff's sauce will be good on the ribs I'm cooking up today. I might try throwing some mustard in a little bit of sauce for me.
