POMEGRANATE MOLASSES BARBECUE SAUCE

I was sent some pomegranate molasses as a sample to try and loved its sweet and sour, tangy kind of taste. I reckoned that it would work brilliantly in a barbecue sauce -- and our kids agreed. You can use as a barbecue mop in the last 30 minutes of cooking your meat on the barbecue or marinate chicken or other meat in sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking in oven or on barbecue. Do not grill or bake for longer than 45 minutes, as the sugar syrups and tomato ketchup are likely to burn and make the food taste bitter.

POMEGRANATE MOLASSES BARBECUE SAUCE



Pomegranate Molasses Barbecue Sauce image

Adapted from a recipe by Kerry Saretsky at Serious Eats http://tinyurl.com/d7b834 - "The sweet-tart tang of barbecue sauce seemed the perfect vehicle for fruity, very sweet, very tart pomegranate molasses. Mixed with ketchup, fresh thyme, onion, sugar, and vinegar, the pomegranate molasses doesn't get lost in the mix, nor does it overpower. It adds this detectable, but unplaceable, sweet bite in the background of this tangier than tangy barbecue sauce, negotiating the tight-rope balance between sweet and tart that every barbecue sauce must walk. I smothered it onto spareribs, but I also dipped rotisserie chicken in it, and I know this sauce would go perfectly with barbecued pork ribs, chicken, salmon, or Portobello mushrooms."

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Time 30m

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
3 tablespoons light-brown sugar
2 cups ketchup
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon molasses
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in mustard powder and red-pepper flakes; cook 30 seconds.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire, vinegar, molasses, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pomegranates: Look for pomegranates that are heavy for their size and have a deep red color. Avoid fruits that have brown spots or are cracked.
  • Deseed the pomegranates: There are a few ways to deseed pomegranates. One method is to cut the pomegranate in half and hold it over a bowl of water. Use your fingers to loosen the seeds and they will fall into the water. Another method is to score the pomegranate around the middle and pull it apart. You can then use your fingers to remove the seeds.
  • Make the pomegranate juice: Once you have the seeds, you can make the pomegranate juice. You can use a juicer or a blender. If you are using a juicer, просто поместите семена в соковыжималку и включите ее. If you are using a blender, add the seeds to the blender along with a little bit of water and blend until smooth. You can then strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your sauce will taste. If possible, use fresh pomegranate juice, fresh garlic, and fresh ginger.
  • Adjust the sweetness and spiciness to your liking: The amount of honey and cayenne pepper you add to the sauce is up to you. Taste the sauce as you go and adjust the ingredients until you reach the desired flavor.

Conclusion:

Pomegranate BBQ sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of foods. It is perfect for chicken, pork, beef, and fish. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for appetizers or as a glaze for roasted vegetables. No matter how you use it, pomegranate BBQ sauce is sure to please everyone at your table.
