Raspberry Chipotle Barbeque Sauce

By


It's almost barbeque season, folks! And I am going to share a super simple process that you can use to make your own barbeque sauce. You can substitute any fruits...be creative and use what you have! I happened to have fresh raspberries on the day I was making this. 

Ingredients
  • 1-1/2 cup crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce (you can also use ketchup in a pinch)
  • 1-1/2 cups fresh raspberries (you can use whatever other fruits you have on-hand)
  • 3/4 cup vinegar (I used a Raspberry Basil vinegar)
  • 3 Tablespoons maple syrup (you can also substitute honey)
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 2 teaspoons raspberry chipotle seasoning blend (you can use any mixture of spices such as paprika, cumin, etc.)
  • freshly ground salt, to taste
  • freshly ground pepper, to taste 

Procedure

Combine all of the ingredients in a medium saucepan and simmer until it has reached the consistency that you want. Mine took between 15 and 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning - sugar, salt, and pepper - as needed. Place in sterile jars and refrigerate until ready to use. Use within week.

When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few.

Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
