Aaron Franklin’s Sweet BBQ Sauce




Source of Recipe


Aaron Franklin


Recipe Introduction


Mike found this recipe in an article about Franklin and his Austin TX BBQ place. There are various “Aaron Franklin BBQ Sauce” recipes out there, but Mike knows that I like sweet, thin sauces, so he gave this one to me. I liked it pretty well, but I don’t really care for cumin outside of taco seasoning mix and the cumin is really the top note here. I would omit the cumin next time. I also found it less sweet than the recipe title suggests (I think that in Texas, anything made without jalapenos is considered ‘sweet’), so I added a tablespoon of molasses and 2 tablespoons of honey.


List of Ingredients




14 oz. catsup
5 oz. water
2.5 oz. apple cider vinegar

1/2 T. kosher salt
1/2 T. black pepper
