Ingredients

  • 8 oz. tomato sauce
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp molasses
  • 1/2 Tbsp Dijon
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne
  • freshly cracked pepper (about 10 cranks of a pepper mill)
  • salt to taste

Directions

  • Combine all of the ingredients except the salt in a small sauce pan. Stir and heat over medium heat, allowing it to come up to a slight simmer.
  • Let the sauce cook and simmer lightly, stirring often, for five minutes. Taste the sauce and add salt if needed (I did not add any).
