Beef Pot Dipping Sauce

1 cup Red Wine Vinegar
1 cup Red Wine Merlot
1 cup Soy Sauce
1 cup Chopped Green Onions
1 cup Peanut Butter
2 tsp Sriracha

In a blender or food processor blend all ingredients until smooth. Use as a dipping or marinade sauce for beef or chicken. Great over rice and steamed veggies. One of my favorites!

When puree will mound slightly on spoon, measure. Use no more than 4 cups of puree. Stir in remaining ingredients.

Spiced Pear Butter II

Servings: 3 jars

Ingredients
1/2 cup Sue Bee Honey
10 large pears
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves

Directions

This dark spread has an intense flavour. It is a terrific way to use up a basket of very ripe pears.

Wash pears, remove stems and cores.
Chop coarsely.
Place in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook 30 minutes or until tender, stirring often.
Press pulp through a sieve or food mill.
You should have about 5 cups puree. Return to saucepan with honey, orange juice and zest, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and cook, uncovered, for 45 to 60 minutes or until reduced by half and very thick.
Stir often.
To test for doneness, place a spoonful on a chilled saucer and holding over the sink, turn it over.
If pear butter is done, it won't fall off.
Pour into hot 1 cup jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Seal with two-piece metal lids.
Process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes.
Remove jars to a folded towel on the counter and let cool for 24 hours.
Check seals, label and store in a cool, dark place

Strange but Delicious Barbecue Sauce

Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Servings: 4 cups

Ingredients
3 tablespoons Sue Bee Honey
2 cups ketchup
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 cup pancake syrup
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 cup Coca-Cola
1/2 cup soy sauce
salt and black pepper salt and black pepper

Directions
Blend together and marinade your meat in it.
Other ingredients such as chopped green pepper, jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, etc can be added to suit your tastes.

Zana's Note:

I prefer using a dark pure maple syrup, rather than a "pancake syrup" that isn't "real". Better flavour.

Macedonian Garlic Sauce

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 7 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Condiment LowerCarbs
Vegan

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 garlic cloves -- 4 to 6, to taste, peeled
salt -- to taste
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
4 slices stale rustic bread -- 1-inch thick, crusts removed
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar -- 2 to 4 T. to taste

Either in a mortar or in a food processor, pulverize the garlic and salt to a
paste.
Add the walnuts and pound or pulverize until the mixture is mealy.
Dampen bread under the tap, squeeze dry, and crumble. Add to the mortar or food
processor and continue pulverizing.
Drizzle in the olive oil and vinegar, alternating between them, and process
together until the skordalia is creamy. If it is too thick, add a little water.
Serve immediately.

Note: you can replace the walnuts with either pine nuts or almonds.

Makes 6 to 8 servings

AuthorNote: The regional love affair between garlic and walnuts plays itself out
nowhere better than in this local skordalia recipe. Serve as a dip or as an
accompaniment to fresh or fried vegetables and fried [cFavorite].
