Strawberry Habanero Barbecue Sauce
Considering that the Summer is a great time to grill, my good friend Sam is always sending me recipes. The following is an awesome marinade/barbecue sauce that can be used for anything, but tastes great on chicken or pork.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 C Strawberry Jam
- Zest and Juice of 2 Limes; Finely Grated
- 1/4 C Thin Soy Sauce
- 1/4 C Finely Minced Ginger
- 1/4 C Fresh Mint Leaves; Minced
- 2 Tbs Habanero Hot Sauce
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients and mix well. This sweet and spicy sauce works great as both a marinade and a barbecue sauce. Since it has sugars in it, do not brush onto grilled foods until they are almost ready to leave the grill.
Sam offers a small tip when preparing this sauce:
“Since the author points out concern with the sugar base ingredients and brushing, I would offer up this little tip, pre-cook the meat on the stove or in the oven before putting it on the grill (I always do this to insure full doneness and minimize the chances of bacteria). You might want to consider using fresh fruit anyway in our house “sugar” is not our friend so I tend to shy away these days from processed foods.”
