Description
My Latin-style Guava BBQ Sauce is the perfect recipe to have on hand when grilling. It has all the smokey tangy flavors of a traditional barbecue sauce, with a unique sweetness thanks to the addition of guava paste. Plus the recipe comes together on the stovetop in just 30 minutes!
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 7 oz guava paste
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Thin the guava paste: Add the guava paste and water to a saucepan over medium low heat and simmer, whisking until the guava paste melts and combines evenly with the water.
- Combine all remaining ingredients: Add the ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire, sugar, mustard, garlic and spices to the saucepan with the guava paste. Whisk everything together until the sauce begins to simmer. Turn the heat down to low and cook for 20 minutes, whisking occasionally.
- Taste and store: Give the sauce a taste and add additional sugar, vinegar or mustard to taste, as needed. I like to whisk in a tablespoon or two of water at this point to thin it out. Store in a bottle in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
