4 cups strawberries (about 1 pound), hulled

1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup strawberry jam
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons dijon mustard

SPICY AND SWEET STRAWBERRY BBQ SAUCE



Spicy and Sweet Strawberry BBQ Sauce image

strawberries, strawberries. What a wonderful thing to do with them. This is absolutely delicious! I found it several places online, so it isn't my own recipe. We used it with grilled chicken, but I see a future of experimenting going on at my house. What a delicious BBQ sauce!! I did add a lot more hot sauce then called for, and added a dab of chipolte hot sauce with it also. I found this on Razzledazzle, but the other place is probably the original creator. Evidently its a creation that Clark Kenny of Bubba's BBQ entered in a contest so I give him full credit with my highest appreciation.(servings are a guess, but it made around a pint, give or take.
