APPLESAUCE BARBEQUE SAUCE
Applesauce gives this sauce a nice thick texture that coats well on meat. It has a sweet spicy flavor that is excellent on chicken or pork. It may also be canned in sterile containers for later use, or for giving as gifts.

Steps:
- Stir applesauce, brown sugar, tomato sauce, vinegar, salt, garlic powder, cinnamon, liquid smoke, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and cloves together in a large pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until thickened, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
- Pour sauce into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 20 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

APPLE BUTTER BARBECUE SAUCE
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.

Steps:
- Add everything together. Well, that's where their recipe ends. I think that's silly. So, let's continue.
- Sauté the onion in a frying pan with a little bit of olive oil, medium heat. Cook till translucent.
- Add the garlic, cook for about a minute.
- Put everything into a sauce pot on medium heat, stir everything together.
- Before a boil begins, drop the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 min., stirring frequently.
- Take it off heat, let it cool for 30 minute (unless you're canning, of course).
- Store it however you wish. It should keep in the fridge for 30 days, in a freezer for longer, or just can it.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: For the best flavor, use a combination of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Braeburn, and Honeycrisp.
- Use fresh spices: Freshly ground spices will give your sauce the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be thick and syrupy, but not too thick. Overcooking will make it too thick and pasty.
- Let the sauce cool completely before canning: This will help to prevent the jars from sealing properly.
- Store the sauce in a cool, dark place: The sauce will keep for up to a year in a sealed jar.
Conclusion:
Apple BBQ sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on chicken, pork, beef, or fish. It's also great as a dipping sauce for appetizers or as a marinade. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own apple BBQ sauce at home. So next time you're looking for a new sauce to try, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
