Garlic, Fig, and Cinnamon BBQ Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup fig jam or pureed figs
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons water

Instructions:

1. Sauté the Garlic: In a small saucepan, heat about 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute[5].
2. Combine Ingredients: Add the rest of the ingredients to the saucepan: ketchup, fig jam, brown sugar, cinnamon, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, apple cider vinegar, and water. Stir well.
3. Simmer the Sauce: Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook on medium-low heat for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help thicken the sauce and meld the flavors [5].
4. Taste and Adjust: Remove from heat and taste. If it needs more sweetness, add a bit more fig jam or brown sugar. If it needs more tanginess, add a bit more vinegar. Adjust the cinnamon or spices as needed.
5. Cool and Use: Let the sauce cool before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the fridge to allow the flavors to meld further. Use within a week.

Tips:- If using fresh figs, puree them in a blender or food processor to create a smooth consistency.- Adjust the amount of cinnamon to your liking; it should add a warm but not overpowering flavor.- Experiment with different types of vinegar, like balsamic or white wine vinegar, for unique flavor profiles.
