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.

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?.
