< Previous   Next >

From our Spring 2011 Roots & Sprouts newsletter (pdf)

A way to enhance basic, store-bought barbecue sauce. Kate suggests serving this delicious sauce with chicken or tofu.

According to The British Guide to German Beer, Hefeweizen is a top-fermented, unfiltered, bottle-conditioned wheat beer with noticeable yeast sediment and a cloudy appearance. “Hefe” means yeast and “weizen” means wheat. Usually quite sweet and fruity, with a full body, Hefeweizen beer is produced by the types of yeast used in Bavaria.

Instructions

1. Add pureed peaches and peppers to a saucepan with the beer and barbecue sauce.
2. Simmer on low to medium heat for 30 minutes.
