Maple BBQ Sauce for the season

Paul Kirk has just the taste for you. His Maple BBQ sauce is perfect for the season with just the right combination of sweetness, smokiness and warmth to make your chicken and shrimp/seafood taste wonderful!

Paul Kirk's Championship Barbecue Sauce Book

Let's begin by combining the following ingredients:

2 1 cup tomato puree
1 Tbs fresh lemon juice
1 Tbs sugar
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp celery salt
1 tsp steak sauce
1 tsp liquid smoke
1/2 tsp granulated onion
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/8 tsp maple extract

Combine all the ingredients in a nonreactive bowl, and mix well. Let the mixture rest for about 2 hours before using it, to allow the flavors to blend. This sauce will keep for up to 2 weeks in an airtight jar in the refrigerator.

How to use it: Serve this sauce warm or chilled. It is good on any barbecue, but the delicate flavor of maple works especially well with chicken and seafood, particularly shrimp. You can use this as a finishing sauce over direct heat on the grill; because of its lower sugar content, it will not burn as some of the other sauces will.

It's time for barbecue!
