Sweet-Hot Barbecue Sauce

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced peeled fresh ginger
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
• 1 jalapeno chile, seeded, chopped
• 2 large plum tomatoes, chopped
• 1/4 cup smoked sun-dried tomatoes or regular sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil), thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup dry red wine
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
• 1/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons mild-flavored (light) molasses

1. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, ginger, and garlic; saute until onion is tender, about 7 minutes. Add both bell peppers and jalapeno; saute until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add plum tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes; saute until tomatoes soften slightly, about 5 minutes. Add wine and all remaining ingredients; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until all vegetables are soft and mixture thickens slightly, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Cool slightly.
2. Puree barbecue sauce in processor or blender until almost smooth, adding water by tablespoonfuls for desired sauce consistency. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD:
3. Smoked sun-dried tomatoes (julienne cut) are sold in three-ounce packages in the produce section of some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores. For a list of stores, go to calsundry.com.
