Total time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• 12 oz tomato Passata (alternates: organic tomato paste)
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/3 cup powdered erythritol, monk fruit or sweetener of choice
• 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp liquid smoke  
• 2 tsp. smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp. onion powder
• 1/2 tsp. sea salt
• 1 1/2 cup water, approx. 
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

1. Whisk all ingredients together in a saucepan, adding the water last. Start with a cup of water, then whisk in a little at a time until it reaches a consistency that is slightly thicker than barbecue sauce. I ended up using 1 cup of water, but I like thick sauce.
2. Bring to a gentle boil at medium-high heat, whisking continuously, then reduce to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently, for 15-20 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
3. Taste and adjust sweetener or cayenne pepper if you prefer the sauce to be sweeter or spicier. If it’s still thicker than you like, you can stir in additional water, a tablespoon at a time, until reaching desired consistency.
4. Bottle and store in the refrigerator.
