Hey Risa,

That does look good!  Plums and habs really go together well and are main 
ingredients in one of the best sauces for marinade and basting I've ever 
made.  I have wild elderberries ripening out back and trying to decide what 
to do with them.

You are a great inspiration!

Subject: [CH] Plum Crazy BBQ Sauce


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).
