Memphis Style Barbecue Sauce

Memphis Style Barbecue Sauce

EverydaySweetened

Memphis-style barbecue sauce is a tomato-based condiment characterized by its balanced sweet-and-tangy flavor profile, typically featuring molasses or brown sugar as primary sweeteners. Unlike vinegar-forward Carolina sauces or mustard-based Kansas City varieties, it maintains a medium-thick consistency ideal for basting slow-cooked pork ribs and shoulder cuts. While sweeter than other regional styles, it often incorporates paprika and garlic for depth, with nutritional considerations including significant added sugar content per serving.
