UNBELIEVABLY GOOD!

Soak the beans overnight. Next day drain and rinse and put into a crockpot with water to cover. Add in all the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT the sour cream.

Cook on low until done about 10 hours. (depends upon your crock pot)

I used sorghum molasses from the sorghum festival in Wewoka last year. If you’re near there this year (October 23) during sorghum season you must go get some fresh sorghum.

These beans turned out SO good that I’ll be making this recipe again using different beans. You’d think they’d turn out similar to baked beans but no! Just a hint of sweetness to them. DELISH!

Sorghum BBQ Sauce

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Remember me telling you about the sorghum festival we went to last year? Well, one of the things you do when you attend a festival is you buy some of whatever the festival is about. It might be kolaches, watermelons, strawberries, rose rocks or sorghum!

Then you get it home and you wonder ‘why’ you bought so much!!!!

Here’s a good recipe to use up some of that sorghum molasses!

Sorghum BBQ Sauce

4 cups ketchup
1 1/2 c water
1/2 c sorghum
1 t pepper
3 cloves of minced garlic
1 t dry mustard
1 t salt
1 T liquid smoke
3 T worchestershire sauce

Mix it all up and let it simmer for about half an hour. Remove from stove and let cool. You can then store in the fridge til you need it.

It’s a yummy southern style sauce.
