Apricot Barbecue Sauce

By Coppermouse

We especially recommend this recipe for pork ribs, but any meat will do.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup apricot jam
• 1 medium-sized brown onion, grated
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 cup apricot nectar
• 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp cider vinegar
• 1/4 tsp ground allspice
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 10 drops tabasco sauce

Preparation

Step 1

If jam has large pieces of fruit, push through a sieve or puree in food processor; measure after pureeing.

In a saucepan, cook onion gently in oil for 5 minute. Add remaining ingredients, stirring often until jam has melted. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes.

Use as a sauce to accompany pork, chicken, lamb or veal, or as a baste for these meats (thin down with a little water or apricot nectar if necessary). Sauce will keep for 2-3 weeks in a sealed jar in the refrigerator.
