BBQ Sauce
Hoopz:
This was brought up (and eventually hijacked) another thread so I thought I would start a new thread for everyone's sake.
Here's the recipe that I used for the cherry bbq sauce:
1/4 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup hot water (almost boiling)
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 T molasses
1 T chopped garlic
6 oz tomato paste
1/4 cup lime juice
Soak the dried cherries in the hot water. In a saucepan, combine the rest over medium-low heat. Let it simmer. After the cherries soak for about 10 minutes, then add the cherries and water to the pan. Stir well and let them simmer for about 5-10 minutes. Put them in a blender and CAREFULLY blend until its smooth. If you haven't previously used a blender with a hot liquid, be very careful as it creates some pressure as it blends.
I thought it worked well. I usually use a dried chile so I subbed in the cherries and it had a good flavor. Not overpowering and certainly not underwhelming. My taste pallet is probably different than yours so YMMV. This is a fairly generic sauce and I didn't want something with a lot of flavor profiles because I wanted to see how it'd work with the cherries.
I've a slab of ribs that I'm making for dinner tonight so I'll use this sauce with that. I also added more garlic than a tablespoon because I like garlic and no recipe ever has enough. And salt and pepper to taste....
And 6 hours to dinner.... :banghead:

I can give that a shot soon and see what comes out. That's a pretty short simmer time. Mine usually simmer for like 6 hours because they are vinegar based (and I make large batches).
Hoopz:
Yep, pretty damn basic. I've made a nice Carolina based vinegar sauce with bacon fat that was unreal. And slightly bad for you but it was incredible. :lol
Vigo:
Sweet! I'm gonna make some this week! I got a slab of ribs in need of some sauce. I might try making a side batch with a few alterations to it and see if I can come up with a variant. :applaud: Now I'm plain excited.
Generic Eric:
Does vinegar based use less sugar? What is the difference?
