I've tried my hand at making BBQ sauce but I'm having some difficulty. When I put all of the ingredients together before simmering it tastes great. Unfortunately, after simmering the sauce has a flat note to it. It almost tastes like it has been burnt, though I use very low heat and stir it constantly. The ingredients from memory are:
1 chipotle pepper in adobo
1 tbl of the adobo
ketchup
brown sugar
oil
lemon juice
Chile powder
Fresh garlic
fresh onion
I've tried subbing garlic powder for the fresh because I thought that the garlic was the villian. I guess what I'm asking is about the process. Most recipes say "mix all ingredients and simmer", I'm wondering if doing it this way is producing the off note. I'll post the full recipe (I left it at home) tomorrow, just looking for some thoughts.
