This Black Cherry Cola BBQ Glaze recipe is easy, sweet, and sticky. The bbq sauce has no ketchup in it. The sweetness is strictly from the cola. It does take a while to cook down but trust me it’s worth the wait.

Black Cherry Cola Glaze

glaze Cooking Tips:

To reduce the amount of time it takes to make the glaze use 1 liter of cola. Have fun playing with different types of cola’s to make this sauce uniquely yours. Frozen cherries work great for this recipe.

Can you make ahead?

Fridge: This sauce does take a while to cook. Making it a day or two in advance will free up your stovetop. The sauce should be kept in an airtight container. Keep in the fridge for 1 month.

At room temperature, it will last 7 days.

You can also use frozen cherries or dried cherries if fresh aren’t available
