APPLE BUTTER BARBECUE SAUCE



Apple Butter Barbecue Sauce image

I saw jars of apple butter BBQ sauce at an apple orchard a few weeks ago. I thought this was a splendid idea-especially for ribs. I've scoured the Internet, and this recipe looks like the best bet. It's originally from Smuckers, (featuring their apple butter). That said, I made a large batch of apple butter (Recipe #70016), so I'm using homemade. Again, use what you can get.

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup smucker's cider apple butter (or your own)
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon prepared mustard

1 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Add everything together. Well, that's where their recipe ends. I think that's silly. So, let's continue.
  • Sauté the onion in a frying pan with a little bit of olive oil, medium heat. Cook till translucent.
  • Add the garlic, cook for about a minute.
  • Put everything into a sauce pot on medium heat, stir everything together.

  • Take it off heat, let it cool for 30 minute (unless you're canning, of course).
  • Store it however you wish. It should keep in the fridge for 30 days, in a freezer for longer, or just can it.

APPLE TREE SHANTY BARBECUE SAUCE



Apple Tree Shanty Barbecue Sauce image

The Apple Tree Shanty graced the east Denver city limits on Colfax Avenue from 1949 until the late 1990s. Their specialty dish was beef tenderloin tips seared in a unique cast aluminum apple mold with a removable lid. The mold and lid were heated to a high 400 degree temperature on the apple wood grill, then the seasoned tips were stuffed in the mold and topped with the hot lid. The dish was served in the mold on a white plate. The beef came out perfectly seasoned and seared to medium rare. This dish was accompanied by a giant baked potato loaded with "everything" and this delectable sauce. Sadly, the restaurant is now closed, but the sauce lives on. From the Rocky Mountain News recipes.

RUBBED AND GRILLED PORK LOIN WITH APPLE BOURBON BARBECUE SAUCE



Rubbed and Grilled Pork Loin with Apple Bourbon Barbecue Sauce image

Above the shoulder of a pig from the neck to the hams lie the pork loins. Pigs are equipped with two meaty loins located on the top sides of the spine. Buying whole loins will not break your wallet or your waistline. A three-ounce serving contains about one hundred fifty calories with six grams of fat. These loins can be smoked whole, divided into smaller roasts (typically two to five pounds), or cut into pork chops. This cut should not be confused with the pork tenderloin, which is much smaller (three quarters of a pound to one and a half pounds) and is located in the loin area but underneath the rib cage of the pig. This recipe combines the charring effect of direct grilling and the slow heat of the indirect cooking process to create a tender roast that retains its moisture. I created this recipe for the National Pork Board a few years back. The Apple Bourbon Barbecue Sauce is a sweet complement to the spicy dry rub and smoked flavors. The dish is a nice change from pork chops, which is the traditional use for this cut of meat.

Yield serves 10 to 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 boneless pork top loin roast, 4 to 5 pounds
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons onion salt
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
Apple Bourbon Barbecue Sauce (page 227)

Steps:

  • Prepare your grill for direct and indirect heat by building a fire (wood or a combination of charcoal and wood) on one side of the grill, leaving the other side void.
  • Place the pork loin on a cutting board or platter and brush all over with the oil. In a small bowl, stir together the dry rub seasonings. Apply the dry rub to the meat in an even coating, patting so the rub adheres.
  • When the cooker reaches 400°F, place the pork loin directly over the medium-hot coals. Cook for 10 minutes on each side to brown. Move the pork away from the heat, cover the grill, and cook for 70 to 90 minutes or until the pork's internal temperature reaches 150°F. Baste with the apple bourbon sauce during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Let the pork loin rest on a cutting board under tented foil for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • The internal temperature of most meats, including pork, will spike by at least five degrees after you remove it from the grill. Let it sit or "rest" undisturbed on your counter for 10 to 15 minutes. This rest allows the temperature to equalize and gives the meat fibers time to reabsorb the internal juices. If you can resist digging in, you'll appreciate and enjoy the extra moisture.

Categories     Sauces

Time 40m

Yield 1 Quart, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup ketchup
2/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1/2 cup apple juice or 1/2 cup apple cider
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar (I use dark)
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup bacon bits (ground fried real bacon)
1/3 cup grated apple
1/3 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons grated green bell peppers (I use Penzies brand dried in jar)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients into a food processor and puree as fine as possible (applesauce consistency). Then pour into a sauce pan and simmer for 15 min stirring often. Let cool and pour into a container. It will keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
  • Taylormade Tip - Fry you bacon medium crisp so the bits have a sofltly mild crunch. If you fry to a extra hard crisp, the bits will be too hard for the consistancy of this sauce, Also, you really don't have to grate up your onion and apple real fine, as the food processor or grinder will puree it all for you, reducing prep time.

Apple Barbecue Sauce Recipes

Barbecue season is around the corner and there's nothing quite like a good homemade barbecue sauce to take your grilled meats to the next level. Apple barbecue sauce recipes are a unique twist on the classic barbecue sauce, adding a touch of sweetness and a hint of tanginess that will make your taste buds sing.
Key Ingredients
One of the key ingredients in apple barbecue sauce is, of course, apples. You can use any variety of apple you prefer, but it's best to choose an apple with a slightly tart taste, such as Granny Smith, to balance out the sweetness of the sauce. Apples can be used in various forms, such as pureed, grated, or finely chopped. Another key ingredient that can be used in apple barbecue sauce recipes is molasses. Molasses adds depth and complexity to the sauce, and it also balances out the sweetness of the apple. Other common ingredients include ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and spices such as paprika, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder.
Preparation
Making apple barbecue sauce is easy and can be prepared from scratch, with ingredients you can easily get from your local store. Typically, the sauce starts with heating up the pureed or grated apples in a saucepan with some vinegar and sugar. Once the apples are cooked down, you can add other ingredients and spices to create the desired taste and consistency. Some like to use a slow cooker to prepare their apple barbecue sauce rather than on the stovetop. Simply add all the ingredients to the slow cooker and let it cook for a few hours till the sauce thickens to your preference.
Variations
There are many variations of apple barbecue sauce. You can use different types of apples to change the flavor of the sauce, such as sweet Braeburns or Honeycrisps. Some even blend in other fruits such as peaches, apricots, or pears, to add some variety. For vegetarians and vegans, apple barbecue sauce recipes can be prepared by substituting honey with agave syrup or maple syrup. Liquid smoke can also be added to the mixture if you want to give the sauce a smoky flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Apple barbecue sauce can be served with a range of grilled meats, from chicken and pork to beef and burgers. It's also great for dipping vegetables and fruits, such as sweet potato fries, zucchini sticks or apple slices.
Conclusion
Experimenting with different apple barbecue sauce recipes can be a fun way to add some variety to your usual barbecues. Whether you're looking for a sweet and tangy sauce for your grilled meats or a flavorful dipping sauce for your vegetables, apple barbecue sauce is sure to satisfy your taste buds.
As the name suggests, apple barbecue sauce is a tangy and sweet sauce that perfectly complements grilled meats. If you are a food lover and want to try something new and delicious, this sauce is the perfect choice for you. Here are some valuable tips you need to keep in mind when making apple barbecue sauce recipes.

Choose the Right Apples

The first and foremost thing you need to consider when making apple barbecue sauce recipes is the apples you choose. Apples are the key ingredient in this sauce, and the right kind of apple can make all the difference. Some types of apples that work well in barbecue sauce recipes include Granny Smith, Jonagold, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn. These apples have a good balance of tartness and sweetness, which makes them ideal for barbecue sauce.

Use Quality Ingredients

The quality of the ingredients used in the barbecue sauce can be the difference between a good sauce and a great one. To make a high-quality apple barbecue sauce, you need to use fresh, high-quality ingredients. For instance, use fresh apples rather than canned apples or applesauce. Also, use high-quality ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce to ensure the best flavor.

Balance the Flavors

The key to making a good apple barbecue sauce is to balance the flavors. A good barbecue sauce should be tangy, sweet, and spicy, and none of these flavors should overpower the others. To balance the flavors, you can use different ingredients like honey or maple syrup to add sweetness, vinegar to add tanginess, and hot sauce to add spiciness. You can also adjust the amount of each ingredient to suit your taste.

Add a Smoky Flavor

If you want to add a smoky flavor to your apple barbecue sauce, you can use smoked paprika, liquid smoke, or smoked salt. These ingredients will give your sauce a delicious smoky flavor, and make it perfect for grilled meats. However, be careful not to overdo it, as too much smoke can overpower the other flavors in the sauce.

Use a Blender or Food Processor

To get a smooth and creamy texture, it's best to use a blender or food processor to puree the ingredients. This will ensure that the sauce is well mixed and there are no lumps or chunks. You can also use a hand blender or immersion blender to blend the sauce directly in the pot.

Cook the Sauce Slowly

Cooking the sauce slowly is important to help the flavors blend together and create a rich, delicious sauce. You should let the sauce simmer for at least 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. However, it's important not to cook the sauce for too long, as it can become too thick and lose its tangy flavor.

Let It Cool

After cooking the apple barbecue sauce, you should let it cool before using it. This will give the flavors time to blend together and make the sauce even more delicious. Once the sauce has cooled, you can store it in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to two weeks.

Use It as a Marinade or Glaze

Apple barbecue sauce can be used as both a marinade and a glaze. As a marinade, it will tenderize the meat and add flavor to it. Simply marinate the meat with the sauce for a few hours before grilling. As a glaze, brush the sauce over the meat during the last few minutes of grilling to give it a delicious and tangy flavor.
Conclusion
Making a delicious apple barbecue sauce is easy if you follow these valuable tips. Selecting the right apples, using quality ingredients, balancing the flavors, adding a smoky flavor, using a blender, cooking it slowly, letting it cool and using it as a marinade or glaze are all crucial steps for making a delicious apple barbecue sauce. Once you've made your sauce, try it with different meats and enjoy!
