Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh blackberries
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the blackberries and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries soften and start to break down.
Use a spoon or potato masher to crush the blackberries into a pulp. Optionally, for a smoother sauce, press the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds, then return the strained liquid to the saucepan.
Add the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to a desirable consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add a pinch of salt, an extra drizzle of honey for sweetness, or a dash of cayenne for more heat, depending on your preference.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Transfer to an airtight container or jar. The sauce can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve the Blackberry BBQ Sauce with grilled chicken, ribs, burgers, or as a dipping sauce for fries or vegetables.
