Time 40m

Yield 1 Quart, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup ketchup
2/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1/2 cup apple juice or 1/2 cup apple cider
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar (I use dark)
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup bacon bits (ground fried real bacon)
1/3 cup grated apple
1/3 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons grated green bell peppers (I use Penzies brand dried in jar)

Steps:

Combine all ingredients into a food processor and puree as fine as possible (applesauce consistency). Then pour into a sauce pan and simmer for 15 min stirring often. Let cool and pour into a container. It will keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
Taylormade Tip - Fry you bacon medium crisp so the bits have a sofltly mild crunch. If you fry to a extra hard crisp, the bits will be too hard for the consistancy of this sauce, Also, you really don't have to grate up your onion and apple real fine, as the food processor or grinder will puree it all for you, reducing prep time.
