"Coke" sauce
~2 cans of 'coke'
~2 Tbsp brown sugar
~3/4 cup tomato sauce
~2 tsp Worcestershire
~1/4 onion extra thin
~1-2 cloves garlic
~ Spices - black pepper, chili powder, cayenne pepper too taste
Simmer everything but the tomato sauce until reduced by half.
Strain out onion & garlic.
Add tomato sauce and bring back to a simmer reducing until desired consistency.
Coke, cherry coke, pepsi, or dr pepper all work.
Onion powder and garlic powder can be subbed.
I've never measured any of the ingredients but I think these are close.
It's sweet and has as much heat as you want.

I sometimes use coke instead of brown sugar when making mine, but not 2 cans. I prefer a bbq sauce that is mainly mustard and vinegar with a little ketchup, then add in garlic, hot sauce, Worcestershire, salt/pepper, brown sugar (or coke) and some lemon at the end after everything else has been simmering for a bit. Never use measurements, I just start adding ingredients and tasting

I used to hang around some serious bbq people. Some would get drunk end argue over bbq sauce til dawn.
The basic recipe or base for a sauce always called for ketchup, mustard, apple cider vinegar, worstershurresheershire, brown sugar.
People put variations of other ingredients like peppers, coke, Barq’s, rubs, pickle juice, honey, lemon /‘d other things
I liked the basic sauce with smoked paprika and coriander. Maybe some heat too.

I've tried all kinds of BBQ sauces and I keep coming back to this one everytime. It is the GOAT and so easy to make.

I love South Carolina style BBQ sauce. I just can't tolerate vinegar much anymore.

for an easy change of pace just take your favorite store bought bbq sauce and add some apple cider vinegar and shake it up.

I make a version of Morgan County White sauce that gets pretty good remarks. I don't normally measure so take these as a guideline.
3C Mayonnaise
1/4c Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4c Sugar
2T BBQ Rub
1t Worcestershire
1/2t black pepper
1/2t Wasabi Powder
Serve this on smoked chicken or turkey and watch it disappear...

I haven't ever seen or heard about pickle juice. I don't think I'd like it, but I may give it a try one day so I can make sure I'm not missing out on anything.
I have made sauces with coke and root beer in the past. I like a root beer sauce with ham. A Dr. Pepper sauce is good for something different. Plenty of recipes online for it. It comes out the best when you let the Dr. Pepper reduce a lot.
When I cook a brisket, I make a basic sauce and then add some of the meat drippings off the cutting board to it. You can collect drippings under the brisket while smoking with a foil pan, which will add awesome smoke flavor and a burst of flavor, but it's mostly fat and very smoky, so be careful no to use too much. A little steak sauce can be good in a sauce for beef too.
If I make a fruit sauce, I begin with a fruit jelly and usually use balsamic vinegar. Pepper jellies are great to use too, and combining fruit and pepper jellies work well. Apple juice is a good liquid to help thin out the jelly.

As I said, this is adjusted from a larger batch recipe. Get as close as you want, or don't I really don't give a frick.

How do you not understand people are looking at this and reading “eleven forwardslash two”. Eleven halves of a teaspoon.
They are asking you how to measure Eleven Halves of a teaspoon because that’s what you wrote and it doesn’t make sense. Are you trying to say 5.5 teaspoons? Or 1 and 1/2 teaspoons? Or what? Nobody knows.

It's not my recipe, it's Aaron Franklin's and I copied and pasted it. When I made it and got to the point where the measurement was weird I just added a little extra.

You’re still not answering the problem. So what is the recipe saying? Is it saying eleven half-teaspoons?
Posted on 1/28/21 at 5:50 pm to HTOWNTIGER1
Here let me help, lil'fella...
Recipe calls for
Let's convert that 11/2 into a usable integer
11/2 = 5.5
There are 3 teaspoons per tablespoon so let’s remove it first before converting the rest. 5.5-3= 2.5
11/2 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon and 2 1/2 teaspoons.
Let’s add that tablespoon back in to see that 11/2 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon and 2 1/2 teaspoons.
Next we can add all of the quantities together
2 tablespoons + 1 tablespoon and 2 ½ teaspoons = 3 tablespoons plus 2 1/2 teaspoons.
Personally I would just add another half teaspoon and measure 4 tablespoons or 1/4cup...
I don't think anyone would be able to discern the difference.
Here’s the next one, champ…
We already know that 11/2 = 5.5 teaspoons from the previous conversion.
We also know that there are 3 teaspoons per tablespoon so let's remove that first before moving forward.
5.5 teaspoons - 3 teaspoons = 2.5 teaspoons
So let’s take 1/4 tablespoon + 1 tablespoon and 2 1/5 teaspoons = 1 1/4 tablespoons plus 2 1/2 teaspoons.
1 1/4 tablespoons plus 2 1/2 teaspoons.
If you want to clean that measurement up, you can convert everything to milliliters (ml) and add them together to see what the best way to measure it is.
1 tablespoon = 15 ml
2 teaspoon = 10 ml
1/4 tablespoon = 3.75 ml
1/2 teaspoon = 2.5 ml
15 + 10 + 3.75 + 2.5 = 31.25 ml
Take out two tablespoons 31.25 - 30 = 1.25ml
convert that into teaspoons 1.25/5 = .25
so your measurement is 2 tablespoons and 1/4 teaspoon.

Good tips
Another thing that I recall is a guy from north of Franklinton who used to make this sauce with Mayhaw jelly from berries that he grew. He used it on chicken and pork and it was phenomenal! He had a spicy one and mild.
I wish I had that recipe

That was my initial thought as well. The only way to know is to do a comparison. Let's convert the oiginal measurements to concise units.
1/4Tablespoons + 1 1/2teaspoons = 3/4Tablespoons
&
2Tablespoons + 1 1/2teaspoons = 2 1/2Tablespoons

Made this last night and really like it. I plan on making another batch with a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce to add a little heat and smokiness.
