Moluv Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Berries + Berries + sQuash= BBQ SAUCE! I did not measure anything and am only sharing this as a jumping off point for your own nightshade/seed free BBQ sauce possibilities. Here is what I did: Sautéed 1/2 a red onion in coconut oil Added a handful or so each of frozen raspberries and blackberries, cooked till berries burst Added 1/2 can puréed butternut squash, many glugs of apple cider vinegar, many glugs of coconut aminos, liberal garlic and onion powder and Celtic sea salt. A puréed date could add more sweetness if desired. I achieved the texture and vinegary oniony flavor I was after, the color is a little more burgundy, but overall I am pleased! Delicious on my chopped brisket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators LadyM Posted May 20, 2013 Moderators Share Posted May 20, 2013 Sorry to curb your enthusiasm, Mo, but berries contain seeds. . . . Hooray for nightshade-free, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beets Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Are berries from seeds really verboten? I have not been following that. I haven't eaten very many berries but oopsy. Sauce looks yummy. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beets Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Found this on Paleo Mom, is this the working hypothesis here? "Seeds in fruit are meant to be eaten (and then planted in very fertile soil on the other end of the digestive tracts) compared to seeds that are designed to be spread by wind, etc. I consider foods with edible seeds (pomegranate, berries, zucchini, cucumber, etc.) to be a gray area. Some people tolerate them and some don't (similar to berry spices)." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I hadn't strained the sauce then it had all the yummy onions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
