Was watching the show and saw the segment for the bbq sauce and decided I wanted to try it. I printed off the recipe and saw that some posters said the recipe was different than on tv. Since I recorded the show, I replayed the segment and compared what was presented on tv to the written recipe. They matched!! the water quantity is mentioned in both formats and directions for cooking are the same. I have not tried the recipe, but based on the reviews and ingredients it sounds wonderful. Since I had to give a star rating I went with the 5 as most people rated it that way. Also, Joseph made the comment that the sauce keeps for a long time in the refrigerator. Hope this helps clear up some questions.
I have tried the recipe. It is good, not the best I ever had Lot of ingredients compared to other recipes out there. Will keep it in my file though. does keep nicely in the fridge.

I made this recipe which I thought was really good. However, I am from St. Louis and we use beer a lot when making our sauces. So the second time I made this, I swapped out the water for beer and the sauce was amazing. I will only be making this sauce with beer from now on. Also, I did cut back on the amount of liquid, but everything else I left the same.

This sauce is awesome ! Iread the reviews and followed the advice. I cut the minced garlic to 1/4 cup.The chili powder I cut to 1/4 cup and I cut the Chipotle puree to 1 Tablespoon of Chipotle salsa. Last I only added 1 cup of water. The result was a potent velvety tangy sauce. We are using this in a BBQ cookoff this weekend. Stay tuned for how we did.
