BBQ Thick Mop Sauce – Perfect for Ribs!

Flavor Packed!

This recipe started as a mop sauce for one of my first books, “Smoke in The Mountains” but changed into a thick version that’s perfect for finishing off a smoker or grilling session. And it is packed with flavor that gets deeper when the recipe is done simmering.

Traditionally, mop sauces are much thinner and used during the course of a long low, and slow smoke session. This keeps the meat, such as ribs from drying out while adding flavor.

This version is for the same low and slow cooking method but used during the end of the process. That helps from burning any of the sugars in the recipe. Here’s all you need to make this tasty sauce! Perfect for using while cooking or as a sauce for serving up!
