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.

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

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.

APPLE TREE SHANTY BARBECUE SAUCE

Apple Tree Shanty Barbecue Sauce image

The Apple Tree Shanty graced the east Denver city limits on Colfax Avenue from 1949 until the late 1990s. Their specialty dish was beef tenderloin tips seared in a unique cast aluminum apple mold with a removable lid. The mold and lid were heated to a high 400 degree temperature on the apple wood grill, then the seasoned tips were stuffed in the mold and topped with the hot lid. The dish was served in the mold on a white plate. The beef came out perfectly seasoned and seared to medium rare. This dish was accompanied by a giant baked potato loaded with "everything" and this delectable sauce. Sadly, the restaurant is now closed, but the sauce lives on. From the Rocky Mountain News recipes.

Peel and core the apples: This will help the sauce to cook evenly and prevent the skins from becoming tough.
