Directions for: Boozy Apple Barbeque Sauce
Ingredients
8 cups (2 L) apples, peeled, cored and chopped
2 cups (500 mL) onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 can (5 1/2 oz/156 mL) tomato paste
cup (185 mL) brown sugar
cup (185 mL) apple cider vinegar
cup (125 mL) white vinegar
cup (60 mL) whiskey or bourbon
cup (60 mL) Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp (5 mL) salt
2 tsp (10 mL) smoked paprika
Directions
1. To prepare, boil clean jars in a water bath for 10 minutes to sterilize them; leave them in the hot water until youre ready to fill them. Place the sealing lids and rings in a small saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Leave them in the hot water until ready to use.
2. Combine the barbecue sauce ingredients in a large stockpot and bring to a boil. Stir, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Remove from the stovetop and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Pure the sauce (in batches if necessary) and ladle into hot jars leaving a 1/2-inch (1 cm) headspace at the top.
3. Wipe the rims of the jars thoroughly and remove the sealing lids from the hot water, attaching them to the jars with the rings.
4. If preserving, return the jar to the water bath (making sure they are covered by at least 1 inch [2.5 cm] of water) and process for 20 minutes.
5. Transfer the jars to a cooling rack or tea towel on the counter and allow them to cool completely while listening for the pop to ensure theyve sealed properly.
