This is one of those fun little recipes that just knock the socks off you! I will give you the basics but then tell you about the variations. This makes a great little homemade barbecue sauce that is perfect on chicken, beef, and pork. Don’t be afraid to try to jalapeno, brown sugar, or Jack Daniels.
1 cup of jelly or preserves (I like apple, orange marmalade, cherry, and raspberry.)
1 cup catsup
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
Mix all of the above ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and enjoy over your favorite meat! Now for the fun….you can add cooked and chopped jalapenos. You can try a tablespoon and Jack Daniels (or other bourbon) with a tablespoon of brown sugar added to the mix. Sometimes, I use red pepper jelly to add a real kick to it. The variations are endless so get creative and enjoy.
