The tropical twist

What do you need:

  • 4 mandarins
  • 2 navel oranges
  • 1 cup of tomato ketchup
  • 1/2 packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons of prepared mustard

  • 1 teaspoon of garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon of ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon pepper
  • Hot sauce, to taste
Peel the oranges and tangerines, remove the seeds and cut them into sections. Pour the apple cider vinegar into a blender and add the fruit. Mix until the mixture is smooth. Keep stirring until the mixture liquefies. Add the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic salt, ginger, lemon pepper and hot sauce and continue beating slowly until the mixture is smooth.

Pour the sauce into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Chipotle Cherry BBQ Sauce

What do you need:

  • 1 cup of fresh or frozen cherries, pitted

  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons of chipotle powder
  • 2 teaspoons of hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon of salt

In a saucepan, melt the butter then add the onion. Sauté until tender. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat and pour the contents into a blender. Add the cherries (thaw first if frozen), ketchup, brown sugar, apple juice, mustard, apple cider vinegar, butter, soy sauce, chipotle powder, hot sauce, salt and black pepper.

Puree until the mixture is smooth. When you're ready, transfer the contents to the same pot and bring to a slow boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until desired consistency is achieved, about 30 to 40 minutes. Stir from time to time during cooking.
