Matts famous glaze
3 cups brown sugar
3/4 cup prepared yellow ballpark mustard
3/4 cup cider vinegar
Option. 1 teaspoon salt. I just think it makes a great sauce even better.
Option. 1 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce. Ditto.
Option. 3 tablespoons of your favorite rub adds a layer of complexity.
Option. 3 tablespoons of butter will add richness and depth.
Option. Some diced or minced apples makes this sauce very good on pork
Do this
1) Whisk all the ingredients together thoroughly in a cold saucepan. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar and mustard are dissolved completely, about 4 minutes. If it starts to boil, turn it down immediately. Try it first without the hot pepper sauce and butter options.
2) Here’s how to use it. The instant the ribs are pulled from the pit, coat them with a generous brushing of warm glaze. You can also serve it as a dipping sauce, warm, at tableside.
This glaze is excellent on everything from chicken to pork and even smoked sausage!!
