Hi! I'm now working from Wordpress. I've spent a great deal of time editing and reorganising this post on Wordpress and it is so much friendlier to read & follow my recipe from there. Click on this link to take you directly to the recipe:

This versatile sauce is tangy with its kick of heat coming from not just chilli and black pepper but also from fresh ginger. The heat is balanced off with fresh green apples to give a refreshing subtle tartness.
Goes well not only on pork and pulled pork sandwiches, but also beef steak sandwiches, hotdogs and hamburgers!

Ingredients
1 cup tomato ketchup
1/4 cup roughly chopped onions
1/2 cup roughly chopped peeled green apples (about 1/2 a green apple)
If you want a more spicy sauce and choose to increase the quantities of the ginger, chilli powder, black pepper, tabasco sauce and mustard, increase green apples to 3/4 cup)
1/8" ginger, sliced (add up to 1/4" of ginger if you want more heat)
1 large clove garlic, skin removed
2 Tablespoons brown sugar or molasses
I use coconut sugar. It has a deeper depth of flavour compared to white sugar.
1/8 teaspoon of chilli powder (add more if you want more heat)
1/8 teaspoon of black pepper (add more if you want more heat)
1/2 teaspoon tabasco sauce (add up to 1 teaspoon if you want more heat)
1/2 teaspoon mustard (add up to 1 teaspoon if you want more heat)
Directions
Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until you have a smooth sauce with no chunky bits.
Bottle and serve.
That is it!
Tips
- You can adjust the amounts of individual ingredients to suit your taste. However, you would have to tweak the recipe until you get the flavour you like.
The House Special Pork Sandwich Sauce is always served on my Slow Cooked Pork Sandwiches and with my uncomplicated Crisp Cabbage and Carrot Coleslaw. Like its name suggests, the coleslaw recipe always dishes out crisp and not soggy coleslaw.
Here is how I serve it. Complete with chips of course. The entire menu is pretty much fuss free.
Serve this at your next party!

Oooh.... Want to try this. I'm curious about the green apples
ReplyDeleteDon't forget them. Add more if you like the taste of it in your sauce. Don't go overboard though or you might have to increase the ketchup to avoid a watery sauce. Keeps so well. Still have some in my refrigerator.
ReplyDeleteDo you recommend a particular chili powder?
ReplyDeleteGo with what you like or have and adjust amount of heat to suit your taste,
