Dr. Pepper Barbecue Sauce
With Father's Day coming up it was time to consider what barbecue sauce we are going to use to slather-up the "man food". This one is definitely in the running!! This was also a great way to reuse my Republic of Jam jars...I love them.
Anyway, this sauce is pretty awesome and it keeps a definite taste of Dr. Pepper...I love that. The ancho chile powder also adds a nice depth of flavor.
Make this for the man in your life....he will love it. Oh yeah...the women will like it too.

Ooh, that's a fun BBQ sauce! I bet my husband would love that!
Nice, I've been wanting to try Coke of DrP in a bbq sauce forever. Now that a certain picky person is no longer around I'll have to try it!
Must make it!
making it today
wow, this looks amazing. i think my husband would go insane for this.
This is a must try in these barbecue times.
This Fathers Day will be my first as a Dad(dy), and as I'm the chef of the household I think I'll treat myself with this delicious looking BBQ sauce!
We enjoy having big bbq's, I had been looking at a Dr. Pepper bbq sauce recipe and thinking about trying it. You've convinced me!
This looks gooey spicy sweet ... I'm lovin' it! Especially on some baby backs or a beer can chicken...
I made this sauce last night, going to give to my son, the BBQ Master, for Fathers Day. It is fantastic! Can't wait to give it to him, Thanks a bunch, love all your recipes!
I made this last night for a party I was throwing today, and it was a huge hit! I used 1/4 tsp chipotle instead of ancho (since I was out) as well as 2 Tbs of honey and a splash of lemon for a slightly more complex flavor. It made it a bit sweeter and it got rave reviews from my guests!
I went on a Dr. Pepper kick last year making cakes, ribs etc. I'll have to try this!
