Servings 16 servings
Ingredients
- 15 ounces tomato sauce
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup mollasses unsulphured
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon sea salt fine
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon ground
- 1 ½ teaspoon liquid smoke optional
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a medium pot and whist together. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for 30-35 minutes to thicken, stirring occasionally. Once thickened, turn off the heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Once cooled, blend the BBQ sauce for an even smoother texture. This step is optional but will give you a consistency much like a store bough sauce.
- Store in an airtight container or jar for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Once the sauce has cooled slightly, blend it to achieve a smooth texture resembling a store bought sauce.
- If you want to add some extra spice, add a few dashes of Tabasco or your favorite hot sauce.
