Equipment

  • Saucepan or bowl
  • Whisk
  • Storage Container, I use a Weck jar.

Ingredients

  • 1-6 ounce can tomato paste
  • ½ cup water
  • cup apple cider vinegar - organic with the mother is recommended health benefits
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ cup brown sugar substitute such as Swerve brown.
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Allspice

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to a saucepan and whisk to combine well. Heat the sauce over medium heat until very warm. Reduce the heat to medium-low or low and simmer for about 15 minutes for flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Makes 1 1/2 cups of sauce.
  • Organic apple cider with the mother is recommended for its health benefits.
  • Stevia based sweeteners are recommended, not anything chemical.
  • I like to simmer the sauce for ultimate flavor, but you can skip it if you're in a hurry or if you are going to use the sauce for another recipe that involves cooking it.
