Y'all have got to make this delicious BBQ sauce and serve it with baby backs, or chicken, or hell, just drink it with some vodka. I made this sauce while in the BVI. Got the idea because of the plentiful selection of fruit, and the spicy Caribbean flair that just overcomes you when you go down island. It is now my all time favorite BBQ sauce!
Mango-Guava BBQ Sauce
Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan. Add 1 large chopped up onion. Chop it fine. Then add 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 fiery hot pepper, minced (I used a scotch bonnet), 1/2 tsp. of dried mustard, a tablespoon of freshly grated ginger, and a tablespoon of cumin. Cook until the onions are clear.
Now add 1 cup of fresh chopped mango, 3/4 cup of guava paste, ( you can get this at specialty stores) 1/4 cup of fresh lemon or lime juice, zest of the lemon or lime, 1/2 cup of dark RUM!, (this is getting good!) 1/4 cup of tomato paste, 1 tbspn of soy sauce, 1 tbspn of Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar.
Cook until the mango becomes a puree, and the sauce thickens.
Baste it on those baby backs and let them get all browned and sticky.
I guarantee that you will fall out on the floor and yell........WHO DAT??????? ;)
Happy Super Bowlin'!!!
Dayum! That picture alone makes me hungry for ribs. Mangos are in all the stores now - got to try that!
