Here's One for Dean--Cherry BBQ Sauce

[Ira]

I remembered his thread about the cherry-picking, and recently came across this recipe on my Q site. Although this recipe says canned, if you got fresh, use 'em

Another guy on the site does this same thing, but uses more jam, less cinnamon, adds a dried chipotle, and uses a blender to get the right consistency.

This barbecue sauce has a sweet flavor from the combination of cherry soda, cherries and cherry jam. While you might think this a strange barbecue sauce the taste is fantastic and it works well on most any kind of meat.

INGREDIENTS:

3/4 cup black cherry soda
1 can (17 ounces) bing cherries, drained
1/4 cup dry red wine
3 tablespoons cherry jam
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
salt and pepper to taste

PREPARATION:

Combine 1 tablespoon of wine with the cornstach and mix until it forms an even paste. Set aside. Combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring. Add the cornstarch paste and return the sauce to a boil stirring constantly. All to boil until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

One of my favorite marinades tha shows up at Costco occasionally is Raspberry-Chipolte sauce. Fantastic on Costco lamb chops. That extra bit of hot does work well with the berries.

I'm gonna try this, but I'm amazed there's nothing tomato-based in here at all, know what I mean? Like not even ketchup.

Ira,
That sounds like a great sauce!!!
I'll have to try it... Thanks!

Dennis,
I discovered that sauce at the IDOS Fall Convention at La Pine, OR last year.

My brother's Costco is a "test' store so they get good stuff more often than I do here. He knows to grab a bottle for me any time it shows up. I just checked here yesterday and look for the suggestion box too. I am down to my last bottle but it is almost full.
I will check his store before Mendo.

Ira: The Costco bottle is 40oz for about $13.

Wow--at that price, that's gotta be the good stuff then. (I pay a premium price for the regular Q sauce that I buy--Big Rick's from Kansas City.)

But this cherry thing is something I would want to try to make myself first though--and although I have a Sam's closer to me, I refuse to join AGAIN:

Those places are just too addictive.

PREPARATION:
Combine 1 tablespoon of wine with the cornstach


This might seem silly to some but for my personal preference I do not cook with wine or alchohol even though it is said that the alchohol cooks out.
Does anyone have a good substitute for the wine? This sounds like a really good recipe and I would like to try it.
thanks

Eunice,

You can use grape juice or even apple juice. Water will work in a pinch. There is so little (1/4 cup) I doubt the flavor will be much altered. I too, don't cook with alcohol due to my friends who are recovering alcoholics.

Eunice, try a tablespoon of (good) red wine VINEGAR and a tablespoonful of frozen concord grape juice concentrate. Put the concentrate in a Pyrex measure and pour the vinegar over, then stir until it's melted/combined.

thanks Barbara. Even apple cider would give it the punch that supposedly wine does.

Welcome.
It's both sweet and sour, and you may wish to warm it a little before adding cornstarch.
