Sweet and sour sauce meets spicy barbecue in this mouth-watering dairy-free recipe. Serve it with potato wedges, vegetables or meats; I like to serve it with Dairy-Free Cheesy Fries or Spicy Sweet Potato Fries, but it also makes a great sauce for burgers, chicken, tofu, stirfries and just about any dish that needs a little pick-me-up.

Makes about 2 cups

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups prepared ketchup
  • 1/4 cup prepared spicy or stoneground mustard
  • 1/2 cup honey or agave nectar
  • 1/2 t. garlic powder
  • 1/2 t. cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 t. paprika
  • 2 T. dry red wine
  • 1/2 t. hot pepper sauce

Preparation:

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine all of the ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring frequently, then turn down heat and cover. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until sauce has cooked down to about 2 cups, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and serve warm or cold. Sauce will keep several days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
