Pomegranate BBQ Sauce
1/4 cup POM Wonderful Pomegranate juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1-1/2 cups ketchup
3/4 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1-1/2 tablespoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons salt
black pepper to taste
2 dashes hot pepper sauce (it is a sweet sauce, I used a habanero hot sauce)
Combine the POM Wonderful Pomegranate juice, one tablespoon of brown sugar and lemon juice into a medium saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Add the remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, ketchup, red wine vinegar, water and Worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, spicy brown mustard, paprika, salt, pepper, and hot pepper sauce.
For added sweetness, add additional brown sugar to taste. Although this recipe is pretty sweet to begin with, you probably won’t need extra.
Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.
Place into refrigerator and let sit overnight to let the flavors blend.
