Equipment
- Medium saucepan
- Wooden spoon
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Fine mesh strainer (optional, if you want a smooth sauce)
- Glass jar or container for storage
Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed berries use chokeberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, or cranberries
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ cup water only if needed to thin the sauce
- Small American flags optional, for festive serving
Instructions
Step 1:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the berries, maple syrup (or honey), and balsamic vinegar. Place it over medium heat.
Step 2:
- As the berries heat up, mash them gently with the back of your spoon to release their juices. Let them simmer for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and jammy.
Step 3:
- Add smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well and taste. Adjust sweetness or smokiness if needed.
Step 4:
- If the sauce is too thick, stir in a splash of water (1-2 tablespoons at a time) until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 5:
- For a smooth sauce, strain through a fine mesh sieve. For a rustic, chunky BBQ sauce, leave it as is.
Step 6:
- Let the sauce cool slightly before serving. It thickens as it cools.
Notes
The flavor intensifies after a day in the fridge, making it perfect for meal prep. Great for both savory and sweet dishes
