Light BBQ Barbecue Sauce with Thermomix

INGREDIENTS

🍅 1 cup of ketchup (≈ 240 g)
🍏 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (≈ 60 g)
🟤 1/4 cup brown sugar (≈ 50 g)
🥄 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
🌶️ 1 teaspoon sweet or smoked paprika
🧄 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
🧅 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
🧂 Salt to taste
⚫ Black pepper to taste
🥜 Optional: 1 tablespoon mustard
🍯 Optional: 1 tablespoon honey
🔥 Optional: cayenne to taste

PREPARATION

1
Add the ingredients: Put the ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and optional ingredients in the Thermomix glass if you decide to use them.

2
Mix: Program 10 seconds at speed 4. Scrape down the remains from the sides of the glass with the spatula.

3
Kitchen: Program 15 minutes, 100°C, speed 2. Place the basket instead of the beaker so that it evaporates and thickens without splashing.

4
Test and adjust: When finished, taste the sauce. If you want it thicker, add 3-5 more minutes at Varoma temperature, speed 2 without measuring cup. If you want it more liquid, add 1 tablespoon of water and mix for 5 seconds at speed 3.

5
Cool and preserve: Let the sauce cool, as it will thicken more as it sits. Store it in a glass jar in the refrigerator, where it can last 2-3 weeks.

TIPS

🌫️ For a smokier flavor: use smoked paprika and add 1/2 teaspoon of liquid smoke if you have it.
🌶️ For a spicier sauce: increase the cayenne or add 1/2 seeded chilli at the beginning and blend for 5 seconds at speed 7 before the first step.
✨ For a finer texture: shred for 20 seconds at speed 10 at the end.
