Celebrate the 4th with a cookout
This weekend is the celebration of our country’s independence – the 4th of July – and you know what that means …
Barbecues!
Isn’t it wonderful to get together with family and friends to have a great cookout with all the fixings before heading to the park to watch the fireworks?
This year, we are going to visit my daughter. Her little girl’s birthday is July 5, so we will have two days in a row to celebrate.
She is planning a Hawaiian luau party with skewers of pork and pineapple cooked on the grill and lots of salads. I’m sure there will be a cake, too, decorated for a 6 year old.
There are lots of different barbecue sauces available in the grocery store. They come in a wide variety of flavors.
But why buy a sauce when making your own is quick and easy? This recipe is super fast because you put everything in a large canning jar and shake it up. No mess and no dishes to wash.
Spicy homemade barbecue sauce
1 cup olive oil
1 cup chili sauce
3 cloves garlic, squeezed
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Gulden’s mustard
4 to 5 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
½ teaspoon crushed dried oregano
1 teaspoon basil leaves
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
2/3 cup chopped parsley
In a large canning jar, mix together all ingredients, except parsley, shaking jar after each addition. Add the chopped parsley and shake well.
