Ingredients

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2/3 cup maltose or brown sugar, honey, maple syrup and molasses

Optional additions:

Instructions

  • Heat the saucepan over low to medium heat. Stir the maltose constantly to help it melt evenly and prevent it from burning. If you're using solid maltose, add a small amount of water to the container or saucepan. This will help prevent the maltose from sticking to the pan and make the melting process more manageable.
  • As the maltose melts, it will become a syrupy consistency. Continue stirring until all the maltose has melted and the syrup is smooth.
  • Once the maltose has melted completely, pour the ketchup into the melted maltose in the saucepan. Mix well until combined or the sauce is smooth and consistent. Allow the sauce to sit for a while to let the flavors meld together.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sweetener or reducing it based on your preference.
  • Enjoy your homemade BBQ sauce!

Notes

  • Do not leave the melting maltose unattended; it can quickly become hot and burn.
  • Use appropriate heat-resistant utensils for melting the maltose.
  • Keep in mind that maltose has a high melting point so the melting process may take some time. Also, avoid overheating the maltose, as it can caramelize and change its flavor.
