Easy Pineapple Barbecue Sauce

Full of flavor, slightly sweet, and as spicy as you want to make it, this barbecue sauce pairs well with any meat, and is especially good with a slow-cooked roast that is pulled into shreds.  We’ve been using this in the class favorite Paleo Stuffed Sweet Potatoes since last winter in the Freezer Cooking Class, and it is a staple in our home fridge.

BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes. We make a dozen or more in this Freezer Cooking Class!

Just like mayonnaise, pickles, and ranch dressing, when we make our barbecue sauce from scratch it becomes a health-giving food.  Store bought barbecue sauce is often filled with corn syrup, artificial flavors, and preservatives.  Natural versions still often use loads of sugar, and carry a hefty price tag as well.

But when we make barbecue sauce ourselves we get to use organic tomato paste, gut-healing and flavor-giving stock, real sea salt, and even fruit to sweeten. Enjoy this condiment all summer long to go with grilled meat, and again in the cooler months with pulled meat from the slow cooker or Instant Pot.

      I’d use it within 10 days from the fridge, or freeze smaller portions up to 6 months :)

    Do you drain the pineapple of juice?

    […] plus, while fruit can be a great sweetener in, say, barbecue sauce, it’s just not going to have the same appeal to pile pulled pork over a bed of sliced apples […]
