Baja Fresh Fish Taco Sauce

sour cream
tabasco
lime
chili powder

Mix all to taste.

My mom and I were at Baja Fresh eating yummy fish tacos. The sauce is really good. The above ingredients is what my mom thought was in the sauce. I went home and made my own fish tacos(corn tortilla, fish sticks, shredded cabbage, tomatoes) and I made this concoction. It was delicious. Not quite the same as Baja Fresh but on the right track.

Jammin' BBQ sauce

Jammin' Barbecue Sauce
growingagreenerworld.com/bbq-sauce-homemade-jam-video
Theresa Loe
If you have been canning this summer, you probably have several jars of half eaten jam in your refrigerator. I know I do! When that happens to me, I start looking for fun, new ways to use them up. One of my favorite go-to recipes is Jammin' Barbecue Sauce. And luckily, there are still plenty of warm days left to grill up a meal with this sauce.

With this simple recipe, you can:

Add any jam you want. (Raspberry jam is my favorite)
Adjust the ?heat? to as much or as little as you like.
Use on ribs, chicken, pork?just about anything.


A sharable YouTube version of the video above is here: BBQ Sauce with Homemade Jam

Remember, this is just one video in our Canning Video Series which features short snippets of canning tips that everyone can use.

For the complete (printable) recipe, see below.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups Ketchup
1/2 cup homemade jam (I like raspberry, strawberry or rhubarb)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
3 dashes or more of hot sauce (to taste)
Pinch of salt
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk thoroughly. Use immediately or within 2 weeks as a glaze on any grilled meats. Do NOT process this for long term storage. It is not meant to be water bath ?canned?.

Salsa - Chili's recipe (modified)

1 14 1/2 oz can diced tomatoes
3 Tbsp canned diced jalapenos(or 3 Tbsp El Pato tomato sauce-its hot)
1 Tbsp lime juice
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 spanish onion
1/2 garlic clove
15 leaves cilantro
3 green onions-tops

Combined all ingredients except onions in a food processor. Run food processor on high for just a few moments until the tomatoes have been pureed, yet still chunky. The jalapenos should be chopped into visible minced bits. Be careful not to over-process. Pour the mixture into a bowl and add sliced onions. Stir well, cover overnight for flavors to blend.

Very easy and quick; make the day before. You may want to double or triple this recipe as it will go fast as the recipe only makes about 2 cups.

1/2 Small Onion (cut-up)
2 Serrano or Jalapeno Peppers (cut-up, including seeds)

1 Tbs. Lemon Juice
1 Can (14.5 oz) Diced Tomatoes

Salt to taste (approx. 1/2 tsp.)

This is a top secret recipe "borrowed" from a cook who never shares his cooking secrets.

*Marcy made a batch that was extra good. The only thing we could think of that might make it better was the brand of tomatoes. She used Hunts.
This salsa is always great.
