Every year I promise myself that I am going to eat more locally grown produce, but for one reason or another I never take full advantage of the seasonal markets and produce. I am trying to change that little by little and this year I’ve been buying a lot of delicious locally grown berries. However, I sometimes have more than I can eat in my fruit salads and bombas (eating raw fruit is the best way to consume it for me. Their delicious natural sweetness has no comparison) so I have been trying to find new ways to eat them like this, this and this recent recipes.
I got a bunch of strawberries on sale last week and I needed to use them before they went bad and after the strawberry risotto I realized that strawberries go well in savory dishes so I decided to make a bbq sauce this time. The recipe is very simple. I used it for chicken, but I believe it would also pair perfectly with pork.
This is another sweet and spicy simple recipe for my lazy summer cooking. In the following weeks I’ll be experimenting with other fruits and berries. Fire up your grills and let the barbecue start.Strawberry chipotle bbq sauce
The ingredients:
- 2 cup strawberries, cleaned
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 1 chipotle adobado pepper
- 2 TBSP dark sugar
The how-to:
Print this recipe
- Blend strawberries, vinegar and pepper.
- Pour in a small sauce pan, add dark sugar and cook over medium heat until it starts to boil.
- Reduce heat to low and stir constantly until the sauce thickens.
¡Buen provecho!
A lot of people were wondering how I made my pancakes fly on my last post. No, it wasn’t magic or a magician’s trick :p. I set my camera on a tripod, adjusted the apperture, shutter speed and flash. I then set the timer and hold the top pancake over the plate and let it go when the timer was up. It took several tries to get those shots and I still didn’t get the angle I was looking for. What I did accomplish was to confuse and intrigue my readers, right? LOL

Strawberry BBQ sauce? I’m pretty impressed dude. I think a fruit tang would go great on some meat, and maybe on a sandwich too
You soooo had me fooled with the flying pancakes. I just thought maybe it was happy to see you or something…
