Summer season is equated with relaxation, fun in the sun, and plenty of gatherings with friends and family. But with the warm weather cheer comes BBQs and beach parties nearly every weekend, and even in a season when the layers are peeling off, the pounds can still come on! This time of year can be as hard on your body as the holiday season.
To help you plan a fun, healthy, summer soiree, AgroLabs Liquid nutrition provides the below recipe, perfect for a festive party without worrying about your waistline.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup chopped shallots
½ – 1 jalapeno pepper (to preference), seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup Naturally Pomegranate™
½ cup catsup
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
Method:
-
In a small saucepan, sauté the shallots and jalapeno in olive oil over medium heat until soft, 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Add the blueberries, Naturally Pomegranate™, catsup, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard and cayenne and stir to combine. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring often.
-
Puree the sauce in a blender or food processor until smooth. Season to taste with salt. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, using a rubber spatula to push as much sauce as possible through the mesh. Return the sauce to clean small saucepan to quickly reheat just before serving.
