Smoky Sweet Tomato BBQ Sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the tomato sauce, raw honey, blackstrap molasses, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce, stirring gently until blended.

2. 2

   Add in the smoked paprika, chipotle powder (or chopped chipotle peppers), garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine.

3. 3

   Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will meld the flavors beautifully.

4. 4

   If the sauce is too thick for your liking, stir in a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

5. 5

   Remove from heat and let it cool. Use as a marinade for at least 30 minutes before cooking, or brush it on your dish right before serving.
