BBQ Sauce – Updated

I have been making my own bbq sauce for over 5 years since it is so hard to find bbq sauce that isn’t PACKED with sugar. There are a few options out there now that are okay, but nothing beats this homemade bbq sauce. It is a tomato and vinegar base, but don’t worry, it isn’t too vinegary. It is balanced, smokey, and the perfect every day bbq sauce that is easy to make.

Ingredients:

• 1, 24 oz can of crushed tomatoes
• 1, 6 oz can tomato paste
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup coconut aminos
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup garlic powder
• 1.5 tbsp chili powder
• 3 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp chipotle powder
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tsp cayenne, omit if you don’t like spice

Preparation:

STEP 1.

Add all of the ingredients to a pot and blend with an immersion blender (or blend in a blender and add to a pot) until smooth. Bring up to a simmer and top with a lid, simmer for 30 minutes until the flavors have developed. Store in a container in the fridge.
