If you're like me and love BBQ, then you probably wish you could taste Nathan's explosion sauce recipe. After some experimenting, I think I have it. The tricky part was getting a "mustardy blend" while still having the traditional BBQ sauce color it has in the show. It starts out with a bit of a spicy mustard kick, then a rich sweetness, followed by a sizzle from the cayenne. I must confess, it tastes amazing. Explosion Sauce - IT'S GOOD ON ITS OWN!

½ tsp cumin

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp onion powder

4 tsp chili powder

1 ½ tsp cayenne pepper (you can use more or less based on your tolerance for heat)

1 cups apple cider

1 ½ cups ketchup

1 ½ cups spicy brown mustard

4 tsp liquid smoke

2 tbs soy sauce

4 tbs Worchestershire sauce

10 tbs dark brown sugar

2 tbs sugar

2 pinches cloves

4 tsp mustard powder

1 tsp cinnamon

10 tbs molasses

½ cups chopped fresh cilantro

Combine all and blend until smooth. In a heavy pan, cook over low heat until it comes to a low simmer. STIR OFTEN or it will scorch to the bottom of the pan. Sauce will thicken somewhat. Sauce is done when all of the dry ingredients have dissolved (about 30-45 minutes).
