Mulberry BBQ Sauce Recipe
Overview: This unique BBQ sauce uses mulberry jam as a base, creating a sweet and tangy flavor that’s perfect for grilling or roasting meats. It’s especially good with pork, as tried with fresh mulberries from Habitera Farms.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Mulberry Jam
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Combine Ingredients:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the mulberry jam, chopped cherry tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
2. Simmer the Sauce:
- Mix well and heat over medium. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
3. Adjust the Flavor:
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more brown sugar for sweetness, or more vinegar for acidity.
4. Thicken the Sauce:
- Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
5. Cool and Store:
- Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate.
Usage:
- Use the sauce as a glaze for grilled meats or as a dipping sauce. The combination of mulberries and cherry tomatoes offers a distinctive flavor.
