Canning Cherry Bbq Sauce Food

CHERRY BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium-sized heavy-bottomed pot and cook the onions and garlic until soft and translucent, 5-7 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a blender and puree until smooth.
• Pour the sauce into non-reactive air-tight containers and store in the refrigerator. Wait at least 3 days before using to allow the flavors to meld. Will keep for up to a month.
• If canning for long-term storage, pour the hot barbecue sauce into sterilized half pint or pint sized jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Process in a water bath for 15 minutes. Remove and let the jars sit undisturbed for 24 hours before moving them to a cool place. Will keep for up to a year.

Steps:

• Dice white onions and fresh garlic cloves
• Using a non-reactive pot combine all ingredients. Allow to cook on medium-high heat for 20 minutes with the lid on, stir often to prevent scorching. Once done the cherries will be soft in texture.
• Using an immersion blender, puree the ingredients until a smooth texture is achieved.
• Continue to boil on low with the lid off until the mixture has reduced to half, or desired consistency has been met.
• Funnel completed BBQ sauce into pint size jars.
• Wipe rims, apply warmed lids and rings
• Process in a boiling water bath or steam canner for 15 minutes
• Remove jars from the canner and allow to cool for 12 hours. Once cooled check jars to ensure they have seal, any jars which have not sealed should be placed in the refrigerator and used quickly.

• My Note: I Purchased the Taste of Home Grill It cookbook and this was one of the recipes I've tried. Made a double batch with fresh bing cherries. The only change made was adding a little kick of heat with an Italian red pepper. EXCELLENT on BBQ whole chicken breast. Will be making an another double batch and canning for future use.
• I like it a little spicy, so I added some sweet hot Asian pepper sauce to it. Finger licking goodness.
