It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a recipe from and in turn someone else will be assigned your blog. All you have to do is choose a recipe, make it and blog about it on the specified date. The only rule is to keep it a secret! If you are interested in learning more, or want to join the club, please visit the Secret recipe club website.
This month I was assigned Bobbi’s Kozy Kitchen, written by my very talented friend Bobbi. I was so thrilled to get Bobbi’s website!! We are both in the Sunday Supper Movement and I love her recipes, so I couldn’t wait to get started! While browsing through all her delicious dishes, I kept coming back to one that really intrigued me… so I simply had to make it: Roasted Strawberry Barbecue Sauce! How good does that sound? And I can guarantee that it tastes as delicious as it looks. It goes incredibly well with grilled meats and ribs and it is sweet and tangy, with a subtle strawberry flavour.
Thank you so much for this great recipe Bobbi! Please, make sure you drop by Bobbi at Bobbi’s Kozy Kitchen and check out her beautiful site!
