Saturday Grillin...

Blueberry Cheesecake Gallette

Smoked Baby Backs. 

Brenda went to visit her folks and left me to my own devices this weekend. Mackenzie and Ben are working but Nick agreed to a rib dinner so I started early today to get a nice smoke on these baby backs with my new Weber grill. I decided this needed a real BBQ sauce of my own making so I pulled the recipe I needed from Cook’s Illustrated ‘Summer Grilling’ from 2011 for a simple pantry sauce I could throw together. It never disappoints.  

Quick Barbecue Sauce

1 medium onion peeled and quartered
1/4 c water
1 cup ketchup
5 tbls molasses
2 tbls cider vinegar
2 tbls Worcestershire Sauce
2 tbls Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tsp Liquid Smoke
1 teaspoon Hot Sauce
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbls vegetable oil
1 med garlic clove pressed and minced
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cayenne


Process the onion and water in a food processor until it resembles slush. Pass through a strainer, pressing on the solids to get 1/2 cup liquid. Discard the pulp.

Whisk  the onion juice, ketchup, molasses, vinegar, liquid smoke, pepper sauce and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.

Heat oil in a large non reactive sauce pan and add garlic, chili powder and cayenne. Cook about 30 seconds then add the ketchup mixture. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes till thickened and flavors are melded. Cool before using.  

For the Blueberry Cheesecake Gallette, I used this recipe:
