I came across this recipe a while back, and gave it a try. It is delicious. Summer is almost upon us and that means barbeque’s will be getting fired up in backyards everywhere! Try mixing this coffee enhanced sauce to add a new twist on to your favorite BBQ selections this season!
These are the ingredients you’ll need:
- 1/2 cup brewed espresso or strong, dark coffee
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped, about 1 cup
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
- 3 fresh hot chili peppers, such as jalapeno, or hotter if desired, seeded
- 2 Tablespoons hot dry mustard mixed with 1 tablespoon warm water
- 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tablespoons ground cumin
- 2 Tablespoons chili powder
Place the the ingredients in a pot, and blend well and bring to a simmer over medium heat.. Be sure to stir frequently so as to blend the flavors.
Lower the heat, and let the barbeque sauce simmer for about twenty minutes or so…keeping a close eye on the pot to prevent boiling or burning.
Remove the pot with the sauce from the heat, and let mixture cool.
To assure the best blended flavor, pour cooled sauce into a food processor or blender and mix for about 2-3 minutes.
This barbeque sauce can be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for about a week and a half.
