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.

Provided by John J. OSullivan

Categories     Sauces

Time 20m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup smucker's cider apple butter (or your own)
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 teaspoons liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon paprika

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 for Making the Best Applesauce:

- **Choose the right apples:** Different apples have different flavors and textures that will affect the final product. For a classic applesauce, choose a variety that is tart and firm, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn. For a sweeter applesauce, opt for a softer, sweeter variety, such as Honeycrisp or Pink Lady. - **Peel and core the apples:** Peeling and coring the apples is an important step to remove the skin and seeds, which can make the applesauce gritty. If you don't have a corer, you can use a knife to cut around the core and remove it. - **Cook the apples until they are soft:** The apples should be cooked until they are very soft and can be easily mashed. This will help create a smooth, creamy applesauce. - **Add sugar or other sweeteners to taste:** The amount of sugar you add to your applesauce is a matter of personal preference. You can also use other sweeteners, such as honey or maple syrup, to taste. - **Add spices for extra flavor:** Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice can add a warm, comforting flavor to applesauce. Experiment with different spices to find your favorite combination. - **Use a food mill or immersion blender:** A food mill or immersion blender will help you create a smooth, creamy applesauce. If you don't have either of these appliances, you can mash the apples with a potato masher or use a blender.

Conclusion:

Applesauce is a versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on its own, used as a topping for desserts, or even incorporated into savory dishes. With a few simple tips, you can make delicious applesauce at home that's perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious snack or side dish, give applesauce a try!
