BBQ Sauce – Failsafe
This is a lovely thick sauce, perfect for dipping, a base for pizzas mixed with garlic or for marinating meat. A great Failsafe alternative to traditional BBQ sauce.
Equipment
- Thermomix
Ingredients
- 1 lg 825g tin pears in syrup
- 80 g white sugar or 70g rice malt syrup
- 1½ tsp citric acid
- 1 tsp salt (I used Himalayan)
- 30 g carob powder
Instructions
- Add the whole tin of pears including it’s syrup into the Thermomix bowl and chop for 2 sec / speed 4.
- Cook at Varoma temperature speed stir for 15 mins. Leave MC (measuring cup) off to allow steam to escape to help it reduce, place the basket on top to help stop any splatter.
- Add the sugar (or rice malt syrup), citric acid, salt and carob powder.
- Cook for 20 mins / 100˚C / speed 1 with the MC off (Place the basket back on top of the lid for splatters).
- Remove basket and place cup measure back on the lid and blend for 30 sec / speed 6 or until smooth.
- Store in an airtight sauce container in the fridge.
Notes
The longer you cook the ketchup, the thicker it will become.
