We picked about a gallon of berries and it cost us $15. We knew we wanted to make a cobbler but I went to Pinterest for other ideas on what to do with all the blackberries we picked. Eric decided he wanted to make a blackberry bbq sauce to grill on seitan steaks.
To make the Blackberry BBQ Sauce:
- 2 cups blackberries
- 2 small spicy cajun peppers diced (other peppers will work but thats what we are growing in our garden this year)
- 2 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp of onion powder
- 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
- dash of liquid smoke
- 3 oz tomato paste (half a small can)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
Saute the peppers for 2 minutes then add the blackberries and ginger cook for an additional minute. Add all other ingredients and simmer until thick about 20 minutes. If you want a smoother sauce you can blend with an immersion stick blender.
