It's blackberry season here, and our favorite BBQ sauce for grilled salmon, chicken, pork ribs, by the spoonful:
10 to 15 cups blackberries, rinsed and pressed with a potato masher
1/2 cup finely chopped ginger
1/4+ cup chopped garlic
4 diced onions
1 1/2 to 2 cups brown sugar
3/4 cup best apple cider vinegar
Small dice fresh hot peppers to taste
black pepper
salt
Measurements are estimates only, as I don't usually measure at all.
Cook in an electric pot so it doesn't burn until it's all mushy - about 3-4 hours. Put through a seeder and get the seeds out, then decide if it's thick enough, or if you want to cook down some more. Boiling-water-bath in smallish jars to seal.
It's hard to taste until it boils down some, so if you put too many hot peppers in it, you'll need more blackberries! I have a gallon in the freezer now that I need to put with another couple gallons of everything except hot peppers so we can eat it! I ran out of berries last winter when I was making it.
