Goji Berry BBQ Sauce -- All natural Refined Sugar Free RICH in antioxidants
We love having this Goji Berry BBQ Sauce as a marinade on all meats or as a sweet and spicy dipping sauce around the house!! Some of our families favorites are to slather it on a whole organic chicken and roast it, braise short ribs in it or slow cook a pork shoulder.
Also known as the wolfberry, goji berries originate from the Tibetan Himalaya Mountains. They have a reddish-orange color and they are shriveled or wrinkled much the same way raisins are. They are rich in nutrients and have gained massive popularity over the past decade. The nutritional facts of goji berry have led them to be called a super fruit.
What to do:
1. Heat Coconut oil in large saute' pan on med-high heat.
2. Sautee' onions until translucent (the more sugar that releases from the onions - the better).
3. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
4. Mix in the remaining sauce ingredients to the pan and allow to simmer on low for one hour.
5. Allow ingredients to cool, place in a blender and blend for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
6. Store in air tight containers for when you are ready to use.
ENJOY with LOVE,
