Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
- ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
- ⅓ cup blackstrap molasses
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
- 2 teaspoons mustard powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: for a little extra kick add a ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce
Instructions
- Mix and cook the sauce. In a medium saucepan, add all of the ingredients and whisk together. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer over low heat (note: if your stove temperature is too high, it will splatter). Let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly reduced.
- Let it cool. Turn off the heat and allow to cool before serving or storing.
