Additional details
- Place the hibiscus flowers, chiles (pasilla de oxaca x 1 & ancho x 1), apricots (70g) and water (3 cups/ 250ml) in a saucepan, bring to a boil covered and then simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- When cooled and all the chiles, fruit and flowers are fully rehydrated, strain any sediment off keeping the remaining liquid.
- Place the strained chiles, fruit, flowers and liquid into a blender or a jug suitable for a stick blender.
- Add the garlic (2 cloves +) and blend until very smooth. Then sieve into a saucepan, discarding the solids. Add the vinegar, sugar and salt.
- Simmer until reduced to a glossy sauce that is thick enough to trace a line across the back of a coated spoon. You should have about 1.5 cups of BBQ sauce when ready.
- Adjust seasoning, this is a balance of sweet, tart, salty and spicy with a hint of smoke.
