RUMBULLION BARBECUE SAUCE

Category: Sauces - BBQ

1/4 cup dark rum, honey, dark brown sugar and lime juice
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp fresh orange juice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg
1 cup ketchup

Place the rum, soy sauce, honey, sugar, lime juice, orange juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a heavy nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until syrupy, 3 to 5 minutes.

Stir in the ketchup and 2 to 3 tbsp water and gently simmer the sauce until thick and flavorful, 6 to 10 minutes. Correct seasoning, adding more soy sauce if salt is desired, more brown sugar if sweetness is desired, and more lime juice if tartness is desired, and more rum if desired.

Let the sauce cool to room temperature for serving. It can be refrigerated, covered, for several days. Bring to room temperature before serving. Yield: About 2 cups
