Jim's hot maple barbecue sauce

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 mediums Jalapeno peppers, chopped (optional
2 smalls Cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup Onion, chopped
¼ teaspoon Basil
¼ teaspoon Salt
3 cups Tomato juice
½ cup Maple syrup

Directions

In a saucpan, Combine all ingredients except maple syrup. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half. Add maple syrup; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until it reaches desired thickness. Strain and bottle. As with any tomato sauce, this will burn on the bbq. So baste in the last 5 minutes of cooking. It's best if injected into chicken or into a beef roast and basted in last 5 minutes as above. Yield: 6-8 ounces, depending on thickness. Note: This gets better as it ages. Will keep in refrigerator up to a month.

This is also good on hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage and ribs. I make this both with and without jalapeno, for our fire department chicken bbq each year. They always run out of chicken and last year they did 1,000 chickens.
