Ingredients
- 8 oz. tomato sauce
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup honey 60g
- 2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp. coconut aminos
- 1/2 tsp. hickory liquid smoke
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1/2 tsp. chili powder
- 1 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 Tbsp. arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
- 1 Tbsp. water mixed with arrowroot or cornstarch
Instructions
- Add the tomato sauce, water, honey, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, liquid smoke, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt and pepper to a sauce pan and bring to a boil.
- Lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Combine the arrowroot or cornstarch and water in a small bowl and mix to combine. Gradually add a little at a time while whisking and allowing the sauce to simmer for a few minutes between each addition. If you want a thinner sauce, use 1/2-3/4 of the mixture. I find using all of it is a great consistency. Be sure to whisk well while adding the arrowroot or cornstarch to avoid clumping.
- Remove from the heat and let the barbeque sauce cool completely and thicken.
- Store in a mason jar or air tight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
