Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Organic Tomato Paste
15 ounces Organic Tomato Sauce
4 Tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 ½ Tablespoons Molasses

Quick and Easy BBQ Sauce (Option 2)
15 ounces Organic Tomato Sauce
1 Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
2 Tablespoons Grape Jelly
2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
Instructions
Sauté the onions and garlic in a medium in a saucepan until translucent.
Combine all other ingredients.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce to simmer.
Cook 20 minutes on simmer.
Quick and Easy BBQ Sauce Option
Combine all the ingredients in a high-speed blender.
Blend the ingredients until smooth.
Pour the contents into a saucepan.
Warm to the desired temperature.
Notes
For thicker BBQ sauce, add more tomato paste.
For a chunky BBQ sauce, add diced tomatoes.
Using red onions instead of white onions gives the BBQ sauce a more substantial onion presence.
Use a high-speed blender for a smooth sauce.
The sauce will last 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
You can also freeze the sauce. I suggest using Souper Cubes.
