Ingredients
- 2 cups huckleberries
- 2 cups water
- ¾ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoon molasses
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 2 teaspoon chipotle pepper
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Add huckleberries and water into a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat for 10 minutes. Use a potato masher to mash the huckleberries as they cook.
- Add the remaining ingredients and simmer over medium-high heat for another 20 minutes. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can cook it longer, but keep in mind, it will thicken as it cools!
- Allow to cool, then blend for a smoother texture or leave as is.
Notes
- Honey or maple syrup can be used instead of molasses.
- If you want to use your huckleberries sparingly, you can use half the amount the recipe calls for and substitute chokecherries or blueberries for the rest.
- If you decide to double the recipe, you may want to reduce the amount of water otherwise it will take up to an hour to reduce.
- If you don't have a blender, you can use a fine mesh sieve to strain the bbq sauce.
- Store the barbecue sauce in a squeeze bottle (purchase at the dollar store) for later use.
- If you want to kick this recipe up a notch, you can add a tablespoon or two of your favorite whiskey.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to one month or more!
