How to Make Sweet Hot Strawberry Bbq Sauce

  1. Wash and hull 1 pound of fresh strawberries.
  2. Combine all ingredients (strawberries, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper) in a food processor or blender.
  3. Puree until completely smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more chili powder for extra heat or brown sugar for added sweetness.
  5. Transfer the sauce to a saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool completely before using. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
