Sweet and Tangy BBQ Sauce
 ( Back to Cookbook Main Menu | Back to Soups and Salads | Back to Cooking Sauces )
 

This is my version of a recipe that I saw on TV. I think that it works best on white meats (chicken, pork, or fish).

5 cups catsup
1 small sweet onion
2 small clove garlic
1 1/2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp soy sauce
3/4 tsp Liquid Smoke
1 1/2 tsp Worchestshire sauce
3 tsp yellow mustard
3 tbls Pickapeppa Sauce
 2 tbls cider vingar
1/2 large orange
1/2 large lime
1/2 lemon
3 tsp dark brown sugar
1 tsp molasses
3 tsp prepared horseradish
1/2 cup Dr. Pepper
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Saute the onions in the olive oil over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, until just starting to brown. Add the chopped garlic, stir for one miuntue, and place mixture in a bowl to cool. In a large stock pot over medium-low heat add the catsup and bring to a slow simmer, always stirring. After 10 minutes add the onions, garlic, soy sauce, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, pickapeppa sauce, and wine vinegar, and let simmer for another 10 minutes, covered.

Cut all the fruit into quarters and squeeze the juice into the pot. Then, add the fruit to the pot too. Also add the brown sugar, horseradish, and Dr. Pepper now. Continue to simmer for at least 40 minutes, covered.
