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.
