Ingredients
  • 20 ounce soda, such as big red soda
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon worcesteshire sauce
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon cherry jam
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Directions
  1. Pour Big Red into a small saucepan, and place over low-medium heat to reduce. You want to get the soda down to a syrup, reducing by nearly 6 times. The final amount left in your pan when properly reduced should be approximately 1/2 cup.
  2. In another pan, combine all other ingredients over low heat and mix well. Add in reduced Big Red syrup and allow mixture to simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Cool slightly, then apply to ribs 15-20 minutes before end of cook time, allowing glaze to set and gel before serving.
  4. Store in airtight glass jar for up to one week in the refrigerator.Check out America's 25 best barbecue chains.Recipe courtesy of Texas barbecue and lifestyle expert Jess Pryles.
