ANISE CHIPOTLE BBQ SAUCE

By Silvermama

If you like this licore flavored herb, you will want to try this sauce. Pictured here slathered on country style ribs. If you can find the star anise, use your spice or coffee grinder to produce shavings as opposed to "dust."

• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp roughly ground star anise
