How to Make Rhubarbecue Sauce

  1. Combine 1 cup chopped frozen rhubarb, 1 cup ketchup, ½ cup water, ½ cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce in a large saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, simmer uncovered, stirring frequently, until the rhubarb is completely tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 20-25 minutes.
  4. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor.
  5. Blend until completely smooth and your desired consistency is reached.
  6. Allow the sauce to cool completely before storing. The flavor will deepen as it sits.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
