Barbecue Sauce
Ben O'DonoghueIngredients:
- 230g dark brown sugar
- 250ml sherry vinegar or red-wine vinegar
- 1 onion
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 star anise
- 1 chipotle chilli
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 60ml tomato sauce
- 200g tinned chopped tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon salt
Method:
- Combine all the ingredients in a heavy-based saucepan.
- Bring to the boil, then reduce to a low simmer and cook for 30–40 minutes, until the sauce coats the back of a wooden spoon.
- Allow the sauce to cool briefly, then use a stick blender to purée until completely smooth. If the sauce is still a little too thin, you can continue to simmer and reduce it.
- Remove from the heat and allow the sauce to cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
