VEGETARIAN RECIPE;
Some years ago I was asked to cook barbeque chicken for about 400 people. I never had been satisfied with commercial BBQ sauce so I decided to make my own variation. I knew what I wanted and what I did not want in such a sauce. I did not want the sauce to be hot but certainly one could put more heat in the recipe that follows such as tabasco or additional hot peppers such as habanera. I did want the sauce to be more sweet than not. In terms of ingredients there were two that make this recipe more unique. The first is grape jelly and the second is red sparkling wine (I prefer Runinte Red Sparkling wine but any red sparkling wine will do). I have had many people ask for this recipe so please try it and let me know what you think.
INGREDIENTS:
16 oz of grape jelly
6 oz of molasses
1 oz of liquid smoke
1/2 oz of tabasco sauce (more if you want the sauce to be hot)
3/4 liter of sparkling red wine (Ruinite Red is very good)
OPTIONAL:
6 cloves of minced garlic
3 tab of soy sauce
3 tab of hoisin sauce
3 tab of grated ginger
DIRECTIONS:
mix all the above ingredients and cook at least 2 hrs in a large soup pot with a defuser in between the
pot and the burner. A defuser is a semi flat round metal defuser about 6 inches in diameter with holes in it on both sides. I use this for spaghetti sauce and it works wonders. Many larger hardware stores might carry it.
Don't use a solid metal one as its a waste of money. If you can't find a defuser cook on very low heat and stir often so you do not burn the sauce.
