Briny, smoky, savory, and a little bit sweet, this recipe from Chef Tyler Florence combines the purity of oysters with the nuance of homemade bbq sauce.

• 1 bunch fresh thyme
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 cups ketchup

• 1/2 cup light borwn sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp mustard powder, ground
• 1 tsp cumin, ground

• 1 tsp paprika
• ground black pepper, to taste
• 12 hog island oysters
• 3 slices bacon, cooked

• 1 bunch fresh thyme
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 cups ketchup
• 1/2 cup light borwn sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup molasses

• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp mustard powder, ground
• 1 tsp cumin, ground
• 1 tsp paprika
• ground black pepper, to taste
• 12 hog island oysters
• 3 slices bacon, cooked

To make the sauce, wrap the bacon around the thyme and tie with kitchen twine.

Heat a 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the thyme bundle and cook slowly for 3 to 4 minutes to render the bacon fat and give the sauce a nice smoky taste.

Add the onions and garlic and cook slowly without coloring for 5 minutes.

Add the remaining sauce ingredients, stir and cook over low heat for 20 minutes.

Discard the thyme bundle.

When ready to cook, start Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to the highest temperature (500F on the Timberline) and preheat, lid closed, for 30 minutes.

Cut the bacon into 12 pieces. Place oysters on the grill and close the lid for 4 minutes.

Remove the oysters and then remove the top shell with an oyster knife. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of barbecue sauce onto each oyster. Then top with a piece of bacon and place oysters back onto the grill, cover, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling. Transfer the oysters to a platter and serve. Enjoy!
