Grapefruit Orange Habanero BBQ Sauce



1 White Onion, diced
1 Grapefruit, separated into wedges and halved
2 Oranges, separated into wedges and halved
1 Lime, juiced
1 Habanero Pepper, minced
2/3c Tomato Sauce
1/3c Water
3/4c White Sugar
3/4c Brown Sugar
1tsp Molasses
1tsp Salt

Sounds fucking weird, right?  I decided to take a gamble with this cockamamie harebrained idea and I’m glad I did because it turned out to be straight legit.  I used the skeleton for my vinegar based BBQ sauce but replaced the vinegar with citric acid and added a buttload more sugar to cut the tartness.  Here’s to having balls and creating new things.

Sautee the onion in some butter over medium-low heat until softened.  Dump in the remaining ingredients, turn the heat up to medium, bring to a boil, turn it back down to medium-low, and simmer for a half hour or so.  Use an immersion blender to puree it into oblivion. 

“Is that a Pace salsa jar?”  Yes it is.  I’m glad you brought that up because it raises a subject I would like to discuss.  Every drinking glass and storage glass I own is from a product I purchased. From huge pickle jars to little clam juice jars my cabinet is a hodgepodge of assorted glassware.  I also save the lids for future storage.  It’s too bad you bought all those crappy glasses at IKEA like a sucker. 

Eat it.

This sounds like a trainwreck, a beautiful, glorious, trainwreck.
