Cranberry Barbecue Sauce
I LOVE eating barbecue sauce, and was devastated to discover that the store bought varieties are loaded with sugar and preservatives. This recipe not only has the smoky taste of a regular barbecue sauce, it also has a tangy, sour bite from the cranberries. I love this recipe so much I could almost eat the sauce by the spoonful, but even I have standards. It's vegan, gluten free (check your tamari), only uses 1/4 cup of sweetener, and tastes excellent on tempeh.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1/2 green chili, seeded and chopped finely
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Squeeze of lime juice
- 1 tsp tamari
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbs tomato paste
- 2 tbs apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp mustard
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in large saucepan over a low heat
- Cook until cranberries start to soften and burst open, about 20 minutes
- Remove pan from heat and leave to cool for 10 minutes
- Blitz with a hand held blender until smooth, and refrigerate until ready for use
