Congratulations, meet your new secret BBQ sauce! Add this flavor bomb sauce to any dish, use as a glaze or on a slice of bread.
Use your favorite bottled BBQ sauce, preferably a regular or honey flavor. Some hickory, brown sugar or overpowering flavors can complicate the flavor of the sauce.
The ingredient that takes this sauce to the next level is the cinnamon. However, as noted in the instructions, do not add cinnamon until the sauce pan has been removed from the heat source. Cinnamon burns very easily. We want the flavor to open up rather than cook out.
We are taking a base sauce and infusing flavors worthy of the gods! Serve this and witness family and friends heap praise and lamentation upon thee.
