Watermelon is a sweet offset to the balsamic vinegar and soy sauce in this barbecue sauce favorite. Sauce may be used to marinate chicken, pork, fish or shellfish overnight and also as a basting sauce and side sauce.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

  • 1/2 cup watermelon juice
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes

Preparation:

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