RECIPE: WATERMELON BARBECUE SAUCE

You can spell barbecue however you’d like (barbecue, barbeque, BBQ), but the result is always the same – an awesome meal. Seriously, have you ever had a bad meal cooked on a grill? It’s impossible. Like a bad hot dog at a baseball game, there’s just no such thing.

Your next flame broiled-meal will be a whole lot better slathered in this watermelon barbecue sauce. You can use it to marinate chicken, pork, fish or shellfish overnight and also as a basting sauce or side sauce. Mmmm … side sauce.

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons red pepper flakes

DIRECTIONS

Stir watermelon juice, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, and pepper flakes together.

Sauce not used for marinating or basting can be spooned over cooked vegetables and meats.
