Creole classic barbecue sauce

3 Cups

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 tablespoon Oil preferably canola
1 Medium onion
½ Medium green bell pepper
Chopped
2 Celery ribs, chopped
3 Cloves garlic, minced
1 cup Canned crushed tomatoes
1 cup Chicken or beef stock
⅔ cup Cider vinegar
½ cup Pecan pieces
6 tablespoons Creole mustard
3 tablespoons Brown sugar
2 tablespoons Chili sauce
½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
½ teaspoon Fresh ground Pepper
½ teaspoon White pepper
½ teaspoon Cayenne
Salt to taste

Directions

In a saucepan, warm the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic and saut‚ until everything is softened, about 5 minutes.

Mix in the remaining ingredients, reduce the heat to low, and cook until the mixture thickens, approximately 30 minutes. Stir frequently. Let the sauce cool briefly. Spoon the sauce into a blender and puree it until smooth. If the consistency is thicker than you prefer, add a little water.

Use the sauce warm or chilled. It keeps refrigerated, for at least two weeks.
