BBQ Sauce

I found this at www.recipegal.com

BBQ Sauce

3 small cans tomato sauce
1/4 cup minced onion
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp molasses
1 Tbsp corn syrup
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
2-3 tsp. liquid smoke

Mix all ingredients and simmer in a medium size saucepan for an hour stirring occasionally.

This is a very good BBQ sauce that I used to do my BBQ ribs in the Crockpot.  It was a little on the spicy side (keeping my kids in mind) so I added a big squirt of ketchup while it was still in the saucepan.  Next time I’ll remember to add less cayenne or omit it altogether.  

Marlin Kabob

We received some wonderful Marlin & Dorado steaks from a friend lucky enough to go fishing in Mexico. Now, what to do with them! Here is a recipe I found for the Marlin over at http://www.mrmarlin.com. I think we’ll try it tonight and then I’ll post my review.

Marlin Kabob
Ingredients:
1/2 lb Marlin steak, cut in squares
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 tsp olive oil
2 Tbsp lemon juice
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
salt
15 cherry tomatoes
12 whole mushrooms
1 yellow pepper, cut in squares
1 green pepper, cut in squares

1. Combine basil, oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt in blender or food processor. Process until smooth. The result should be a brushable sauce – add 1 Tbsp water if too thick
2. Alternate fish and vegetables on skewers. Brush on all sides with sauce
3. Place on a hot grill and cook until fish flakes easily, about 5 minutes each side
