Copycat Dreamland BBQ Sauce

Visiting Dreamland BBQ (and honestly, just about any BBQ joint) is also on my to-do list, so I can’t vouch for how much of a copycat it is, but I can vouch for how good it is.

Equipment

Ingredients

28 ounces tomato puree
⅓ cup prepared yellow mustard
3 cups water
1 ½ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup dark corn syrup see my note
2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons cayenne
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Place puree and yellow mustard in a large saucepan and whisk until combined.
Whisk in remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring often.
Keep in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.

Notes

Note: Dark corn syrup makes for a nice dark syrup with a hint of molasses. For a lighter syrup, use light corn syrup.

Note: If you prefer a thicker sauce, combine 1/4 cup corn starch and 1/4 cup cold water and whisk into the sauce as it simmers.
