Clean BBQ Sauce

Clean BBQ Sauce


We tried this on our burgers yesterday (Memorial Day) and OMG delish! I won't use bottled BBQ sauce ever again. This was far tastier and no high fructose corn syrup or other unclean ingredients! I doubled the red pepper flakes for a little kick in the butt! Enjoy!


Ingredients:

1/4 cup tomato paste

3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar

2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup

2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tsp. onion powder

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil



Preparation:

In a medium saucepan whisk together 1/2 cup water, tomato paste, vinegar, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper flakes.

Bring sauce to a boil on medium high and continue boiling for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in oil. Makes about 1/2 cup.
