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.

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.

Tips:

  • To make a delicious and flavorful apple barbecue sauce, it's essential to use ripe and juicy apples. Granny Smith apples are a popular choice due to their tartness, which pairs well with the sweetness of the other ingredients.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of apples. Honeycrisp, Braeburn, and Fuji are all excellent options that offer unique flavor profiles.
  • The type of vinegar you use can also impact the flavor of your sauce. Apple cider vinegar is a classic choice, but you can also try white vinegar, red wine vinegar, or balsamic vinegar for a more complex flavor.
  • Be sure to caramelize the onions slowly over medium heat. This will help to bring out their natural sweetness and depth of flavor.
  • Don't skip the step of adding a little bit of brown sugar or molasses to your sauce. This will help to balance out the tartness of the apples and create a more well-rounded flavor.
  • If you want a smoky flavor in your sauce, you can add a teaspoon of liquid smoke or a pinch of smoked paprika.
  • Be sure to simmer your sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow all the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Apple barbecue sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. Whether you're grilling chicken, pork, or ribs, or simply want to add a unique flavor to your favorite sandwich or burger, apple barbecue sauce is sure to please.
