Jim's hot maple bbq sauce

1 servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
2mediumsJalapeno peppers, chopped (optional)
2smallsCloves Garlic, minced
¼cupOnion, chopped
¼teaspoonBasil
¼teaspoonSalt
3cupsTomato juice
½cupMaple syrup

Directions

In a saucpan, Combine all ingredients except maple syrup. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half. Add maple syrup; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until it reaches desired thickness. Strain and bottle. As with any tomato sauce, this will burn on the bbq. So baste in the last 5 minutes of cooking. It's best if injected into chicken or into a beef roast and basted in last 5 minutes as above. Yield: 6-8 ounces, depending on thickness. Note: This gets better as it ages. Will keep in refrigerator up to a month.

This is also good on hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage and ribs. I make this both with and without jalapeno, for our fire department chicken bbq each year. They always run out of chicken and last year they did 1,000 chickens. SOURCE:*Jim Bodle POSTED BY: Jim Bodle 3/94, 2/95 Submitted By JIM BODLE On 02-15-95
