Ingredients

How to make it

  • Directions
  • Place raisins in a small bowl and cover with 1 cup boiling water. Let sit for 15 minutes while they plump up. Drain.
  • In a large saucepan, sauté onion in 1 Tablespoon olive oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and continue sautéing for about 30 seconds more or until fragrant.
  • Place drained raisins, onion-garlic mixture, balsamic vinegar and remaining one Tablespoon olive oil into blender. Puree until smooth.
  • In the same saucepan you sautéed onions in (you don't have to clean it), add pureed mixture and the rest of all the ingredients. Bring to a simmer over low-medium heat and reduce by half, leaving sauce uncovered; about 30 minutes.
  • Serve with your favorite barbecue. I have found sauce tastes best when it has sat for a day and the flavors have melded together. Keep refrigerated.

    I tend to be a steak purist, I use the sauce as an accompaniment mostly

    Yo Mama Twill. I am impressed. It's still BBQ weather in Samoa and I will be gettin some juicy beef ribs on my next trip to town. May I suggest coating whatever you're cooking with the sauce and letting it marinate overnight in the fridge, re-coating at least once. Tenderize and flavor. Great post.
