\"pic\"May is National Barbeque Month, which makes sense because May also includes Memorial Day which, in my opinion, is the unofficial start of summer and grillin\u2019 season.<\/p>\n

Of course, I don\u2019t need good weather or a national holiday to convince me to fire up my grill. Even though I live in Pennsylvania, where the winters can be brutal, I usually grill all year round. Granted, it\u2019s not that often in the winter (I\u2019ve been known to shovel a path through the snow to get to my grill), but I still won\u2019t pass up an opportunity to flame broil some burgers and steaks.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been meaning to grill more chicken, and when I do I\u2019ll definitely whip up some of this Watermelon Barbeque Sauce. You can actually use it on pork, fish, or <\/i>chicken, which makes it pretty versatile. It\u2019s also easy to customize. After you make it and taste it, you can add more brown sugar if you like your sauce sweeter or throw in some more red pepper flakes for a little more heat. Me? I\u2019ll probably add a little more of both!<\/p>\n

Watermelon Barbeque Sauce<\/a>
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

INGREDIENTS
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

1\/2 cup watermelon juice
\n1\/2 cup balsamic vinegar
\n1\/4 cup brown sugar
\n1\/4 cup soy sauce
\n2 tablespoons vegetable oil
\n2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
\n2 garlic cloves, minced
\n2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

INSTRUCTIONS<\/b><\/p>\n

Stir all ingredients together. Pour enough sauce over vegetables, chicken, pork, fish or shellfish to marinate. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Baste with additional sauce while grilling or broiling. Sauce not used for marinating or basting can be spooned over cooked vegetables and meats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
