Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 1 cup dark rum
  • 1 1/2 lb strawberries hulls removed and berries cut in quarters
  • 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup raw sugar or substitute brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp sorghum syrup or molasses
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
  • 6 cloves garlic thinly sliced (I crushed them)
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 1 serrano chile or jalapeño

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the oil in a medium to large heavy bottomed saucepan and saute the onion for about 5 minutes until it softens and starts to turn golden. Remove from the burner and add the rum, stirring for 2 minutes (off the heat) Add the strawberries and cook over medium high heat, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until the strawberries have become soft.
  2. Add the vinegar, sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, oil, syrup (or molasses,) salt, pepper, garlic, bay leaves, and chile. Cook for about 15 minutes or until thickened and coats the back of your spoon.
  3. Remove the bay leaves and process the sauce with an immersion blender until smooth. Move the blender around to get all the lumps. Be extra careful as the mixture is very hot and can splatter.
  4. Ladle the sauce into jars and let cool before refrigerating. Michael says it will last 2 weeks, but ours lasted up to a month or more.

Notes

  • The sauce can be frozen for longer storage, just be sure to leave headspace in your jars to allow for expansion in the freezer.
