Jalapeno-Strawberry Barbecue Sauce

This fabulously sweet and spicy barbecue sauce has a strong strawberry presence, but is distinctly "BBQ". We recently served it over some fun new stuffed chili pepper recipes and loved it.

Ingredients

• 6-8 strawberries, stemmed and chopped
• 4 jalapeno peppers, chopped
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• ½ onion, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• ¼ cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• Salt to taste

Cooking Directions

1. To a food processor or blender, add strawberries, tomato paste, onion, garlic, sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, chili powder and ginger. Process until smooth.
2. Heat a saucepan to medium-low heat.
3. Strain the Jalapeno-Strawberry mixture into the pan and simmer about 15 minutes to thicken.
4. Salt to taste and serve.
