Strawberries were used for this sauce, but you can use whatever kind of berries you wish!

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons coconut oil (melted and cooled a bit)
  • 3 cups strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or blackberries (or a combination)
  • 1 medium onion, halved and sliced thick
  • 1 ripe Roma tomato, halved and sliced
  • 12 large garlic cloves, unpeeled
  • 1/2 cup organic ketchup
  • 1/4 cup organic berry preserves (any variety)
  • 2 Tablespoons molasses
  • 2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon lite soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • 1 Tablespoon Sriracha hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 slices bacon, fried until crispy and crumbled
  • 2 teaspoons bacon drippings
  • 1 Tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon tarragon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the coconut oil, berries, onion, tomato, and garlic in a bowl and toss until everything is coated with the oil. Place on a baking sheet and oven roast at 425 for about 25 minutes or just until everything is a bit caramelized and the garlic cloves are soft. Remove the garlic cloves from their skins.
  2. Place the oven roasted ingredients and everything else in a medium saucepan. Simmer gently, stirring frequently for 15 minutes or until sauce is slightly reduced and thickened.
  3. Cool for 10 minutes. Place the sauce in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until pureed and smooth.
  4. Transfer to canning jars. Cover tightly and store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
