Recipe by Chef John McConnell
Cacao Honey Barbeque Sauce
Yields: about 2 cups
Ingredients:
¾ c. apple cider vinegar
¾ c. tomato paste
½ c. Clif Family Solar Grown™ Cacao Honey Spread
1 tbsp. + 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. + 2 tsp. molasses
1 tsp. vanilla extract
¼ tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. onion powder
1 tbsp. kosher salt
Method:
Combine all ingredients in a stainless steel (non-reactive) saucepan and bring to a simmer, cooking just long enough to dissolve the honey and molasses. There is no need to reduce the sauce as the consistency is just right as is to coat anything that comes off the grill.
Chef John recommends seasoning your steak, chicken, tofu, vegetables or other grilled items with your favorite seasonings. Then grill to perfection and baste with the Cacao Honey BBQ sauce.
