Ingredients

  • 1 cup blueberry jam
  • 1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup molasses
  • 1 Tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Bring all ingredients to a boil. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Bring just to a boil, while stirring, and then reduce the heat to simmer.
  • Simmer the sauce. Simmer the sauce for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the sauce from getting too thick on the bottom.
  • Refrigerate before serving. Turn off the heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a glass quart sized jar. Screw the lid on the jar and refrigerate overnight before using to baste pork tenderloins, chicken, ribs, and more.
