I normally buy Fountain BBQ Sauce with no added sugar. But, with the current situation, I figured I could make something very similar myself with my Thermomix.
I turned to the trusty Recipe Community for a good recipe. I chose this KathysKitchen Best BBQ Sauce recipe and tweaked it to my tastes.
If you can’t get hold of fresh plums, canned will do fine, but reduce the sugar as they are sweetened. Or, simply add another apple instead of plums
This recipe was developed in the TM6.
