In a word YES. I have given away low glycmic versions of the ketchup and every one loved it. I now have several requests for more.

The ketchup by itself tastes like a plain BBQ sauce. It only takes 20 minute to whip up a batch.

I have a friend who is allergic to tomatoes. He can (and does) eat BBQ sauce, but it'll make his throat scratchy and irritated. I decided to make a sauce that he could eat without this problem. It's base is blackberries and NM red chile. I use honey for a sweetener and I like to use apple cider or raspberry vinegar to give it a nice tang. I prefer that now over the tomato based ones.

There are a lot of bbq sauces that aren't ketchup based, mustard sauces, vinegar sauces, white sauces, pepper sauces, apricot or peach or berry or other fruit sauces.....I used to make a cranberry based bbq sauce.

those are all new to me.I heard of mustard,vinegar even white sauce,but that one throws me off since it uses mayonnaise.I don't know about the fruit ones but I'll try only thing once.

 

[diggingdogfarm]

Well, tomatoes are a fruit, so it's not exactly uncommon. LOL :biggrin:

I'll see what I can find for you.....
One of the things I did was search the net and see what was out there and then play with them. Most of what I found were bogus and needed help in my opinion. I had a function to host where the guest had to make a different BBQ sauce. we gave them copies of the recipes without amounts and asked them to recreate or improve what they had in front of them. Had some interesting results. I'll see if I have those and send your way.

I have a weird dislike for ketchup and I cringe when i think about using it in a sauce, so if you dont mind could you post some of your ideas in the thread? Thanks in advance.

Well aren't you a funny one, I don't see how you can call them fruit

and for schaydu have you ever had ketchup based BBQ sauce it tastes nothing like ketchup.I don't know for sher but maybe the big commercial brands use ketchup as their base.

.

Botanically a tomato is a fruit - the ovary, together with its seeds, of a flowering plant.

I don't see how you can call them fruit.

Sure they are, they meet the technical definition, they're a seed-bearing ovary.

In general, if it has seeds, it is a fruit, though this is not 100% true. Seedless grapes, for example, are still a fruit, but I suspect that there have been many, many years of selective breeding to get the seedless varieties. Obviously, what makes a fruit a fruit is more complex than "it has seeds," but that's a good place to start. A lot of food things are not classified in a nice orderly scientific fashion due to simple tradition. Many people don't know that peanuts aren't actually nuts!

Try the berry sauce with pork. I am sure that you will like it. Almost any fruit can be used in place of the berries. I have used half apricots and half pineapple and liked it. Pork is a "fruit friendly" meat.

I have made sauce with heinz 57 steak sauce and the Honey heinz 57 is good also. They used to call it ketsup with a kick but  I ve never thought of it as ketsup but I have used it in making sauce and maybe add it to a commercial sauce of choice to start a creation, I have made the Jack Daniels dipping sauce that is featured at TGIF's and you can get the knock off recipie from TGIF's site.  I have added a little more brown sugar to make more of a bbq sauce for mopping on ribs and chicken the last 15 or so minutes of a smoke. I guess what I might suggest is if it calls for ketsup, try to substitute the heinz in its place.

 

[jarjarchef]

They are all pretty good. They kind of serve different purposes........

Berry - pork and chicken
Honey citrus - pork, chicken and shrimp/lobster
Maple chipotle - pork, chicken, shellfish and beef
Brown sugar - all purpose generic
Jack - glaze for ribs, chicken and steaks/ brisket
