This is a sweet and fruity BBQ sauce that we enjoyed on grilled chicken. It would also be fantastic on a burger! Make it with fresh or frozen (thawed) cherries.
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook time: 25 - 30 min
Yield: 4 - 6 cups, depending on desired thickness
Ingredients
3 tbsps butter
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp salt
2 tsp pepper
1/8 - 1/4 tsp cayenne (to taste)
3 cups cherries, pitted and quartered (thawed frozen cherries will also work)
1.5 shots Bourbon
Directions
Melt butter in a pan and sauté onions and garlic until lightly browned. Add the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT FOR the cherries and bourbon. Bring back to a full boil.
Once boiling, add cherries and bring to another full boil for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool a little. Use an immersion blender or potato masher and blend until fairly smooth, or to the consistency you like.
Put back on heat and bring to rolling boil, turn heat down and let it slowly boil for 10-15 more minutes. Then add the Bourbon. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
This recipe will make 4 - 6 cups of sauce. Store in in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Zhuzh it up!
We used 1/4 tsp of cayenne and it was pretty sweet (which is what we wanted). If you like a bit more heat, you'll definitely want more cayenne.
