BBQ Sauce (Dairy and Gluten Free)

By Irene Shaver @hhwife
BBQ season is finally here or for some of us it barely left.  I don't tend to buy BBQ sauce as I don't care for the ingredients but have always wanted to create my own.  I used this recipe on pork but feel it would taste great on other meats as well.  It makes a little over 2 cups of sauce.
Ingredients
  • 11 oz tomato paste 
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 cloves garlic (or more to taste)
  • 1/4 chopped onion
  • 1/4 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/3 cup organic molasses
  • 1 tablespoon tamari
  • cayenne pepper to taste
  • 1/2 black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt or herbamare
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder

 Directions
  1. Combine all ingredients and purée until smooth.
  2. Keep refrigerated and in a sealed jar.
