Typical barbecue sauce has molasses, mustard, and other ingredients not used on Pesach. Flavor is not compromised at all in the following sauce. On the contrary, it is literally bursting with taste and very versatile. I used it here on a brisket roast, but it is equally good with meatballs or on chicken, or even to dress up tongue. It received rave reviews from anyone who tasted it.
4 and 1/2 pound (2 kilogram) roast
1 onion, diced and sautéed
3/4 – 1 cup Gefen Ketchup (or homemade)
3/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup apple juice (I used 1 tablespoon apple juice concentrate and 2–3 tablespoons water) –
1/4 cup Gefen Honey
2–3 tablespoons oil
3 cloves garlic, sliced
2 teaspoons salt or to taste
pinch pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Put everything but the roast into a small saucepot and cook for 20 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened.
Pour the sauce over the roast and bake in the oven for two and a half to three hours (depending on the size of the roast) at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
Refrigerate the meat overnight, separately from the sauce. Slice it the next day (it’s easier to slice when the meat is cold) and reheat together with the sauce.
