I had some cooked up plums I needed to get rid of and some blueberries that were just sitting in the freezer so I decided to make a habanero bbq sauce with them.
I went to Sweet Heat by Melissa Stock & Dave Dewitt for some inspiration and came upon a recipe with strawberries and cayenne.
I took half of a habanero that i had from the backyard and infused the plum preserves with it first and then I put all the ingredients in the food processor and pureed it. It is amazing stuf! Mmmm...
i think it will be on top of vanilla ice cream by the end of the week! I am also going to serve it with some grilled chicken on Saturday night (we have friends coming over).

NOTES : Risa's notes:
The original recipe calls for strawberries and strawberry preserves. I used low sugar ketchup and the original calls for 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper and I used a habanero instead for more heat. I omitted the chopped cilantro (2 tbsp).
For less heat, use the cayenne powder. I also infused the habanero into the preserves
container with the measured amount of preserves and letting it sit for 1 hour).
