Tsubvu BBQ Sauce

This post is sponsored by E-foods. They provided the sauces used in this post.

When I was in Zimbabwe I had the opportunity to try E-foods products. I used their premade bbq sauce in these meatballs.

I also got their other products like soy sauce, Worcester sauce and vinegars that you can use in your everyday cooking.  I made my own bbq sauce with tsubvu and sauces and vinegar from E-foods. Tsubvu adds a smokiness to the flavour that is distinct. I made the sauce rather thick because that is the way I like it.

It is simple and you can make it ahead of time or if you want you can can the sauce and store it for a long time.
