EXTREMELY TASTY HOT AND SPICY TROPICAL BARBECUE SAUCE



Extremely Tasty Hot and Spicy Tropical Barbecue Sauce image

Okay....the name says it all, except that this is quick and easy to make! It uses items you grab off the grocery store shelves and throw together in a saucepan. Within 10 minutes you have a "WOW" tasting sauce. This isn't for a pork sandwich (although you could), but it is fabulous with grilled chicken, fish, or pork. Since the first review, I decided to add: If you can't find hot mustard based barbecue sauce, regular mustard based sauce will do, just add some dried red pepper flakes. The mustard barbecue sauce I use is very hot.

Categories     Low Protein

Time 12m

Yield 2 1/3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups barbecue sauce, hot and spicy mustard based (like Cattleman's Gold... I prefer Winn Dixe brand "Winn & Lovett Carolina Spicy", but it is local...)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 (6 ounce) can crushed pineapple
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Cook until heated through.
  • Baste your meat with the sauce and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh fruits: The quality of your fruits will greatly impact the taste of your sauce. Look for fruits that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Use a variety of fruits: Don't be afraid to experiment with different fruits. Tropical fruits like pineapple, mango, and papaya are all great options, but you can also use more common fruits like apples, peaches, or berries.
  • Roast or grill your fruits: Roasting or grilling your fruits will caramelize the natural sugars and give them a smoky flavor. This will add depth and complexity to your sauce.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will brighten up the flavors of your sauce. Try using cilantro, basil, thyme, or rosemary. You can also add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
  • Simmer your sauce: Simmering your sauce will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. Be patient and let your sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have time.

Conclusion:

Tropical Islands Barbecue Sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on grilled meats, fish, or vegetables. It's also great as a dipping sauce for appetizers or snacks. With its sweet, tangy, and smoky flavors, Tropical Islands Barbecue Sauce is sure to be a hit at your next party or cookout.
