Living in the South, one of my favorite foods in the world is BBQ! I literally could eat pulled pork, smoked chicken, and brisket every day and be happy. But when I became Paleo, I realized how difficult it was to find a healthy bbq sauce. Almost all of them have loads of sugar, corn syrup, gums, and unidentifiable ingredients. Therefore, I started making my own. This took around 5 tries to perfect, but now it is a staple in my kitchen. I have to make a giant jar almost every other week because my family and I love it so much! We put it on meats, sweet potatoes, pizza crusts, eggs, and almost everything! It has a nice kick and a great flavor that will prove you never need to buy packaged bbq sauce again.
Ingredients:
- One 24 oz can of crushed tomatoes
- 1 small can of tomato paste
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 TB garlic powder
- 1.5 TB chili powder
- 1.5 TB smoked paprika
- 1TB chipotle powder
- 1/2 TB salt
- pepper to taste
- 1 tsp cayenne
Instructions:
1.Blend the tomatoes, tomato paste, vinegars, and coconut aminos in a blender until smooth
2. Put into a sauce pan over medium heat and add the seasonings and bring to a simmer
3. Taste the mixture to make sure you like the flavor. If it is too “tomatoey” I usually add more balsamic vinegar and coconut aminos, also garlic powder.
4.Once you have found a flavor that you like, simmer the sauce on low heat for thirty minutes to blend and develop flavors.
5. After the thirty minutes jar in a mason jar and store in the refrigerator! I have kept mine for many months without any problems! Enjoy on literally everything
