Step-by-Step Instructions for Plum BBQ Sauce

  • In a large pot, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes until they become fragrant and the onion is translucent.
  • Once the onions are ready, stir in the chopped plums along with the chili powder, water, balsamic vinegar, hot sauce, molasses, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix everything well.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, allowing it to bubble vigorously. Then, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes.
  • Once the mixture has simmered, remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the sauce until it reaches a smooth consistency.
  • After blending, taste your Plum BBQ Sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed.
