Description

This Southwest Barbeque Sauce is seasoned with coffee and green peppers.  Enjoy it on Texas-Style Brisket, Smoked Pork Ribs, or a Pulled Pork Sandwich.


Ingredients

Scale

1 Tablespoon oil

1 Large Onion

1 Pasilla Pepper chopped

3 Green Jalapeno or Serrano Peppers chopped

10 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup ketchup

3/4 cup Worcestershire Sauce

3/4 cup Strong Coffee

1/3 cup molasses

1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar

1/4 cup Lime Juice

1/4 cup Chili Powder 

2 Tablespoons Yellow Mustard

1 1/2 teaspoons Cumin

1 1/2 teaspoons salt


Instructions

Saute the onions, garlic, and peppers in oil until they are tender and beginning to brown.

Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 20 minutes.

Blend the mixture with an emersion blender or transfer to a standing blender (see note below).

Transfer mixture back to your pot and simmer for another 20 minutes.  

Store it in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator.  It will keep for a month or longer.



Notes

If you are using a standing blender, be very careful that the hot sticky sauce does not come out the top when blending.  Make sure the lid is on tightly, hold the lid down with a kitchen towel, and don’t overflow the blender bowl.
