Instructions

Add 0.5 tablespoon Olive oil to a pan and put 1 Onion in and gently cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add 500 g Passata, 2 Garlic clove, 4 tablespoon Tomato puree, 2 tablespoon Honey, 1 pinch Ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon Paprika, 3 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Stir well.
Simmer for around 10 minutes.
If you want a smooth sauce, wait for it to cool and then blend to the desired consistency.

Notes

Keep this BBQ sauce vegan by swapping the honey for maple syrup. You can use any liquid or granulated sweetener you like, but you may need to adjust the measurements.
Change things up a bit and go for a spicy BBQ sauce. Add a teaspoon of cayenne or a few drops of chilli sauce to spice things up a bit.
We like our BBQ sauce nice and smokey, which is why we use smoked paprika in it, but you can easily leave it out.
This sauce has been blended to make it really smooth like a store bought BBQ sauce, but you could skip that stage and just leave it chunky.
If you aren't making this for kids, feel free to add a pinch of salt for some extra flavour.
If you want to add some extra flavour to this, then a teaspoon of English mustard is a good addition.
For loads of extra smokiness, add some liquid smoke to it.
If you want a a grown up version of this, add a little splash of bourbon for a bourbon BBQ sauce that goes so well on ribs. It will take a little longer for the sauce to cook with this in it though.
