Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 teaspoons oil
1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
3 cups pitted cherries (fresh or frozen/thawed)
1 cup plain tomato sauce
1 cup ketchup
1 cup cane sugar, for low sugar alternative use sugar substitute, e.g. Swerve Sweetener, though if canning you'll need to confirm if it's suitable for that purpose)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
1 teaspoon dry ground mustard
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1-2 teaspoons liquid smoke (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium-sized heavy-bottomed pot and cook the onions and garlic until soft and translucent, 5-7 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a blender and puree until smooth.
  • Pour the sauce into non-reactive air-tight containers and store in the refrigerator. Wait at least 3 days before using to allow the flavors to meld. Will keep for up to a month.
  • If canning for long-term storage, pour the hot barbecue sauce into sterilized half pint or pint sized jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Process in a water bath for 15 minutes. Remove and let the jars sit undisturbed for 24 hours before moving them to a cool place. Will keep for up to a year.

  • My Note: I Purchased the Taste of Home Grill It cookbook and this was one of the recipes I've tried. Made a double batch with fresh bing cherries. The only change made was adding a little kick of heat with an Italian red pepper. EXCELLENT on BBQ whole chicken breast. Will be making an another double batch and canning for future use.
  • I like it a little spicy, so I added some sweet hot Asian pepper sauce to it. Finger licking goodness.
