Blackberry BBQ Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups ketchup
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 1/2 cups ripe blackberries
- 1-2 fresh green chiles minced, depending on how spicy you like it. (I used one serrano and it was the right amount of heat even for my 13 year old)
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons chile powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- extra siracha or other hot sauce if desired
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, mix all ingredients, except for butter and siracha, together over a medium low heat, stirring occasionally until sauce is well blended and hot. Remove from heat. Stir in butter. Let cool, 10-15 minutes.
- In a blender, with a heat proof jar, blend sauce in batches. For safety, cover lid with a towel. Check seasoning, adding more salt or hot sauce if desired.
- Brush warm sauce over skewers, chicken, pork or ribs.
