For a smoky depth, consider grilling the blackberries before adding them to the pot. Adjust the number of habanero peppers to control the heat level. Remember, the heat intensifies as the sauce sits. This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or frozen for longer storage. Experiment with different types of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, for a unique twist. Serve with grilled chicken, ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, or shrimp tacos. Enjoy!

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare Your Canvas: Gather all ingredients, ensuring the blackberries are fresh and plump. (5 minutes)
02
StepThe Simmering Symphony: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the ketchup, blackberries, blackberry jelly, sugar, raspberry balsamic vinegar, corn syrup, tomato paste, limeade concentrate, cider vinegar, sea salt, bourbon, garlic powder, ground ginger, ground chipotle pepper, red pepper flakes, black pepper, liquid smoke, teriyaki sauce, and hot pepper sauce. Stir well to incorporate. (10 minutes)
03
StepIgnite the Heat: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. (15 minutes)
04
StepMellow the Blaze: Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the whole habanero peppers, and continue to simmer, uncovered, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, approximately 20 minutes. The longer it simmers, the richer and more complex the flavors will become. (20 minutes)
05
StepStrain and Refine: Remove from heat. Carefully discard the habanero peppers. (5 minutes)
06
StepThe Velvet Touch: Working in batches, fill a blender no more than halfway with the hot barbecue sauce. Secure the lid tightly, covering it with a towel for safety, and pulse a few times before blending on high speed until smooth. Repeat with the remaining sauce. (15 minutes)
07
StepBottling Brilliance: Pour the blended sauce into sterilized jars or airtight containers. Allow to cool completely before sealing and refrigerating. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
