This is the most WONDERFUL BBQ sauce recipe I know. It is different (sort of), and the black rum cannot be substituted by another type of rum. It ruins the taste.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 27

SYRUP
12 large guavas, rinsed, ends removed and cut into quarters
3 c pineapple juice
1/2 c brown sugar, packed
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
4 large sprigs thyme
SAUCE
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 c white onions, finely chopped
2 large habanero peppers, seeded, ribs removed and finely chopped
2 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced
4 large cloves garlic, pressed
1 large mango, stone removed, peeled and diced
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1 1/2 c ketchup
1/2 c tamarind chutney sauce
1/2 c white vinegar
1/4 c blackstrap molasses
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp liquid smoke
1 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground himalayan sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste (i always use mixed peppercorns)
1/2 c pineapple juice

Steps:

  • 1. SYRUP:
  • 2. In a large saucepan, add all the syrup ingredients, stir well and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until it reduces to a third, about 40 minutes.
  • 3. Remove from the heat and strain the syrup through a fine sieve placed over a bowl, pressing down on the ingredients to release more liquid; discard the solids and set aside.
  • 4. SAUCE:
  • 5. In a large pot over medium heat, add oil and when it starts shimmering, add onions and habanero peppers; sauté until they get soft, about 5 minutes. Add ginger and cook for 30 seconds before adding garlic; sauté ingredients for 1 minute only. Add mango, stir and cook for 2 minutes.
  • 6. Add the remaining ingredients, stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes.
  • 7. Using an immersion blender, process until somewhat smooth.
  • 8. Remove from the heat and transfer the sauce to a glass bowl or a heatproof container. Let it cool off before covering and transferring to the fridge until needed.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they have fewer seeds and a thicker flesh.
  • Roast the tomatoes before using them: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and makes them sweeter. You can roast them in the oven or on the grill.
  • Use a variety of spices: Caribbean BBQ sauce typically includes a blend of spices, such as garlic, onion, cumin, paprika, and thyme. Experiment with different combinations to find a flavor that you like.
  • Add some sweetness: A little bit of sweetness helps to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes. You can use brown sugar, honey, or molasses.
  • Let the sauce simmer: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld and develop. Simmer it for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed: Once the sauce is done simmering, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Caribbean BBQ sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of meats, vegetables, and seafood. It's also a great dipping sauce for appetizers. With its bold, flavorful taste, Caribbean BBQ sauce is sure to be a hit at your next cookout or party. Experiment with different recipes to find the perfect sauce for your taste.
