Trail Blazer Barbecue Sauce

Recipe View In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped onions, strong black coffee, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, minced hot chili peppers, chili powder, minced garlic, and salt. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to ensure the brown sugar dissolves completely. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The sauce will thicken slightly and the flavors will meld together beautifully. (30 minutes)

Recipe View Carefully pour the hot sauce into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Secure the lid tightly. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel for extra security. Start the blender on a low speed, using short pulses to begin, then gradually increase to high speed. Puree until the sauce is completely smooth. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Repeat the blending process with any remaining sauce, working in batches. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Transfer the pureed barbecue sauce to a clean glass jar or airtight container. Allow it to cool completely before sealing and refrigerating. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. (1 hour)
