Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups strawberry preserves

  • 1 ¼ cups tomato puree

  • ½ cup pomegranate-infused red wine vinegar (such as Pompeian®)

  • ¼ cup light brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder

  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes

  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

  • 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper

  • kosher salt to taste

Directions

  1. Combine strawberry preserves, tomato puree, vinegar, sugar, chili powder, red pepper flakes, cumin, cayenne, and black pepper in a medium pot. Whisk to remove any lumps.

  2. Bring strawberry mixture to a slow simmer over medium-low heat. Cook until sauce evenly coats the back of a metal spoon and is glossy, about 30 minutes, whisking frequently; never allow the bottom of the pot to scorch. Season with kosher salt.

  3. Remove sauce from heat and let cool before transferring to a tightly sealed quart-sized container.
