This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Beer And Molasses Barbecue Sauce
- add review
- #17274
This tangy sauce is great for grilled chicken or spareribs. Build up a shiny glaze by brushing the sauce often over meat; beginning about 15 minutes from the end of cooking time. The kind of beer you use will affect the flavor so keep that in mind. If you want a stronger flavor, use a bolder beer. If you like something more mild, use an American pilsner. Liquid Smoke can usually be found by the barbecue sauces at your supermarket. If you can't find it you can omit it but it really does give the barbecue sauce a nice, smoky flavor.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
