Why we ❤️ it
- Rum barbecue sauces like this, with the best Caribbean dark rum, are famous during summer cookouts.

- This homemade sauce with no preservatives that call for a few easy-to-find ingredients is full of great natural flavors that go great with pork, beef, or poultry.

Preparation
1. Grind the spices
In a spice grinder or mortar, combine salt, cumin, caraway seeds, and black pepper, and grind to pulverize them.
2. Blend the hot sauce
- Pour the spice mixture into the food processor vase and add the jalapeño, garlic, lemon juice, cilantro and parsley.Pulse to turn into a coarse paste, it's important that it's not blended completely.
3. Mix in olive oil
- Add the olive oil and pulse once or twice to combine.
4. Store
- Pour into a mason jar and keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Top tips
- Liquid smokes: The liquid smoke gives a very special flavor to the ribs, but if you can't buy it, then you can try without it.
The liquid smoke gives it a pleasant smokey taste and a beautiful caramel color. - Rum: I normally use dark rum for the sauce but have also used white in a pinch, and I liked both. Use the rum you have at hand.
- Pepper: For the authentic Caribbean flavor, use one crushed Scotch bonnet pepper instead of chili flakes.
- Tomato paste: You can use ¼ cup of tomato paste dissolved in ¼ cup of water and mixed with 1 teaspoon of brown cane sugar instead of ketchup.
Serving suggestions
If you want to add an easy-to-make homemade BBQ sauce for your cookout, this will become your new favorite.
I first used this tropical bbq sauce with slow-cooked ribs, but it goes particularly well with roasted chicken, grilled pork chops, air fryer chicken tenders, and even turkey chops.
