Apricot-Habanero Barbecue Sauce

By Derrick Riches, About.com

You probably didn't think about making a barbecue sauce out of fruit. Well this fruit based barbecue sauce is sweet and hot. It works perfectly on poultry and pork. If you make it in advance the heat from the habanero will have time to mix with the other ingredients.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, roasted, peeled, and seeded
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2/3 cup dried apricots
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon powdered mustard
  • 4 tablespoon habanero hot sauce
  • salt to taste

Preparation:

Sauté onion and garlic with oil in a large skillet. Add bell pepper, water, apricots, brown sugar and apple cider vinegar. Reduce heat, stir together and simmer until apricots are soft, about 15 minutes. Combine with mustard, hot sauce and salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
