Anyone have a rasberry BBQ sauce recipe?

[rbranstner]

I have had rasberry BBQ sauce on ribs at a few local BBQ joints and I really like it. Anyone have a good recipe that they care to share?

Sam's Club has a Raspberry chipotle bbq sauce that I use and every one that I know who has tried it raves about it.

I have a Mahogany Glaze that I use on pork loins. The original recipe calls for using grape jam but I have had great results using raspberry jam. I make sure to find the stuff that has the seeds already removed. If you want to kick it up by adding some heat, you can add some cayanne pepper to the mix. I would start with 1/4-/1/2 teaspoon and go from there.

Here is the Mahogany Glaze from the Smoked Pork Loin with Mahogany Sauce sticky:

Mahogany Sauce:
3 strips bacon, diced
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 cloves chopped garlic
1 cup grape or raspberry jam
1 cup catsup
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons of your favorite whiskey

Saute bacon and onion until onion is tender then add garlic and saute for another minute. Drain bacon drippings from skillet. Add grape jam, catsup, vinegar and whiskey. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Makes 2-1/2 cups.

When the Pork loin reaches 145 degrees F. apply the Mahogany Sauce and smoke for another 30 minutes. Remove roasts from the smoker and allow them to rest for 15-20 minutes. I usually tent the roasts with aluminum foil at this point. Slice roast and serve with remaining Mahogany sauce on the side.

NOTE: The original recipe did not have the garlic or the whiskey. Even without these additional ingredients this sauce is still fantastic.

Hey Dutch how do you think that sauce would taste on ribs? How long does that sauce last in the fridge with the bacon in it?

Cattlemans plus as much rasberry jam you can handle..

 

[rbranstner]

What kind of cattlemans do you usually use? We only have a few places around here that carry cattlemans and they only one one or to flavors.

I'll have to try the sams club sauce when I go there next time.

I get it at Sams or Costco in big Gallon containers, and it is the Classic.

I would like to eventually develop my own, but it is hard to argue with the number one BBQ sauce used in Restaurants, there is a reason.

Further it makes a fantastic starting point, I doctor it several ways depending on what I'm trying to achieve, the easiest is either 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 Cattlemens to Honey. Also I use Cattlemans to kick up hearty sauces for non bbq meats. Plus it doesn't hurt to have a big container of Franks Hot Wing sauce around (all it is is Cayanne Pepper, butter, water), since I started keeping a bottle in the fridge usually a gallon, it last me about a year, and it has found its way into many dishes, (I have at least 5 or 6 different hot sauces). What I like about Franks it can deliver the heat, without a lot of after taste like Tabasco Sauce.

1 cup raspberry jam
1 onion
4 cloves garlic
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup molasas
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons black pepper

1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup white sugar

pour into large pot heat til boil on med-high heat stiring almost constantly
(just don't let it burn)

reduce heat to low cover and simmer 45-60 mins

makes about 2-3 pints

hope that helps I love it on chicken but have had it on pork and beef and it's just plain good in my opion! ! !

This is my favorite sauce for just about anything Pork. Its sweet and depending on what hot sauce you use, it can be wickedly hot. I cant ever seem to find chipotle grilling Sauce therefore i always use Green Habanero Hot sauce


½ cup Polanders Raspberry preserve, no seeds no sugar added
¼ cup Marie's Raspberry Vinaigrette, i think any will do
¼ cup of Chipotle Grilling Sauce
~2 Tbls Honey
approx ½ tsp garlic powder
approx ½ tsp crushed Cayenne pepper

I mix all in a sauce pan except for the honey and heat on low, when its runny i start to add the honey to until ive achieved a good balance between spicy and sweet. Its usually about 2 Tlbs of honey and i simmer it till its reduced in volume to maybe 3/4 cup. You have to use it immediately or reheat it before you use it, it sets up like jello.

The recipe comes from so other site from about 3 years ago, i dont remember what site that was. Its been on my computer ever since.
