Get Your Grill On

This is my variation of the same recipe sent to me by MUG®. I kicked up the heat units by adding some Chipotle ketchup and smoked paprika.

1 cup MUG® Root Beer
1 cup Chipotle ketchup
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons *Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons (packed) dark brown sugar (3 tbsp if you like a sweeter sauce)
1 tablespoon medium or dark molasses
1 teaspoon smoked Paprika
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Combine all ingredients in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 20 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.

Cool slightly. Transfer to bowl. Cover and refrigerate. (Can be made 2 weeks ahead; keep refrigerated.)

Enjoy -

*Generic Worcestershire sauce tends to be very bland and flavorless. I like Lea and Perrins for its depth of flavor and color.
