I really like the famous Jack Daniel’s sauce at Friday’s. But I dont like Fridays. All the food on the menu has meat in it! Even the salads besides like, one. And they dont offer vegetarian options. So I had to find the recipe of the sauce to make it at home and use it however I want. I did some researched on the net, and all the copy cat recipes I found didnt have all the ingredients I had in mind to use. And reading the reviews I got confused. Some said about the recipes that they were amazing, exactly the same thing, whereas others said they sucked and had nothing in common with the original sauce.
I decided to take a risk and trust my taste buds, and picked from every recipe I found the ingredients I though would do. The basic thing for thing sauce, that you cant make it without, is Jack Daniel’s and dark brown sugar. Here is my version, which I think is very similar with the original! Use it on seitan, tofu or other meat alternatives, or as a dipping sauce for anything you feel like!
For 1 cup :
-1 or 1/2 onion
-2 cloves garlic
-1/4 cup Jack Daniels
-2 Tbsp blackstrap molasses
-1/2 cup dark brown sugar
-3 Tbsp organic unsweetened pineapple juice. [ pure ]
-2 Tbsp teryaki sauce
-1/2to1tsp tabasco sauce [ depending your spicy-ness tolerance]
-1/4 tsp minced ginger
-1 Tbsp olive oil
First place onion and garlic cloves in food processor. Blend so that your have tiny onion pieces. Add in a saucepan olive oil, and saute onion mix in it. Then add Jack and brown sugar and strir. Bring to boil. Add the rest of the ingredients, lower heat and simmer for approximately 20 minutes, stirring often. When it cools down it thickens quite a lot and becomes like chutney due to the high sugar content, but if you want to use it as a dip you can thin it when you heat it up with some water. Serve however you want!
holy crap! that sauce…
