Barbeque Sauce

[quirkycooking]

I know there's already a couple of bbq sauce recipes floating around, but thought I might as well add mine to the list - we love it! 

Ingredients:
- 950g fresh tomatoes (very ripe), halved
- 2 dark red plums, deseeded (or about 5 tinned plums, deseeded)
- 150g red onion
- 1 fresh red chilli, deseeded
- 2 or 3 garlic cloves
- 1 red capsicum, halved
- 4 to 5 heaped tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tsp worchestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp ground smoky paprika
- 2 tsp liquid smoke seasoning (opt.)
- 100g Rapadura
- 100g balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper

Method:
- Place all ingredients in bowl and grind for 1 minute on speed 9.
- Cook at Varoma temperature for 45 minutes, speed 3, with the basket on the lid instead of the mc.
- Blend for 1 minute, speed 9.
- Pour into clean bottles or jars, screw lid on tight, turn upside down to cool.  (Or just keep in the fridge.)

Quirky, this sounds nice.  What could I replace the rapadura with? would brown sugar be okay?  Also roughly how much does it make?

Thanks, Julie.

Hi Julie,
You could use brown sugar instead of Rapadura, or raw sugar (although it might need a bit of molasses to make it richer).
It makes about a litre, once it cooks down.
