Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     condiment

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

15 ounces tomato sauce ((1 standard can))
6 ounces tomato paste ((1 standard can))
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper ((optional but encouraged))

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, stir together all of the ingredients: tomato sauce, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, molasses, Worcestershire, smoked paprika, dry mustard, garlic, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Cover with a lid slightly ajar so that the pot is mostly covered to deter splattering, but steam can still escape and the sauce can reduce. Let cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Enjoy immediately or let cool and store for later use.
