Help me recreate a sauce recipe

[woolster22]

If your going sweet, a cheap port would add some good complimentary notes im sure. Just dial back any other sugar or sweetener! If not that, a Berry laiden red. Don't ask me types, wine is yet another work in progress for me. I go to my usual liquor store and ask the owner to point me in the right direction after describing what I'm looking for :D

I begged for several recipes that my dad's neighbor used to make. I begged for years. I pleaded. I moved on, I made my own clones of her recipes. Two years ago, on my birthday, I got a box in the mail. It contained a card box with about thirty of her family's recipes and a very nice letter that explained how her recipes could have made me a good cook. But how lack of them has made me a great cook. It was about the highest compliment that I have ever gotten. I have cooked for her and her family countless times, having forgotten about how badly I wanted those recipes. As it turns out, most of my clones are (by most accounts) as good or better than the originals. So, go ahead and experiment, make your own clone. You may surpass the one that you tried to copy.

That's awesome. It inspires me and give me hope.

BBQ sauce:

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2-3 cups fresh blueberries
• 2 cups tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• ½ cup maple syrup
• ¼ cup coconut aminos or gluten-free soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon bbq rub
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, to taste
• salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Let’s get this saucy sauce going. Melt the fat in large saucepan/skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and cook until the onions become translucent, about 8-10 minutes.
2. Add tomato sauce, blueberries, maple syrup, coconut aminos, bbq rub, and red pepper flakes; bring just to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 20 minutes.
3. Stir in the apple cider vinegar; and add salt and pepper to taste.



All the sauces were fairly standardized. The top recipe was repeated many times.

I do a raspberry sauce that I think would be easy to adapt. Here are the basics
One bottle raspberry vinaigrette +one cup each honey and ketchup (I think this is the base for someone's BBQ comp recipe).
