Lets Get Saucy!





This past week I have been craving BBQ chicken...not necessarily the chicken but the sauce and since I am unwilling to buy premade sauces from the store my family and I decided to make our own this past Saturday. It came out very good for the first try.


Silva's BBQ Sauce - Round 1

1/2 c apple cider vinegar
3/4 c oil
1/3 c organic cane sugar
1/3 c brown sugar
2 or 3 tbsp Honey
2 tsp Guldens mustard (coarse grain would have been better but we are all out)
1 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
3/4 c dried apricots
1 tbsp coriander seed
1 tsp cumin
1/3 c Ketchup

a shake or two of the following spices, I didn't measure these and my kids added them in.
Cinnamon
Ginger
Freshly ground black pepper
Smoked paprika

Transfer all ingredients to a blender and add ketchup. Blend until smooth and adjust ingredients to your liking. I did add more honey and more ketchup. To make it spicy you can add some red chili flakes or any hot peppers you like. Let me know how you jazz it up...
