Most commercial BBQ sauces are loaded with high fructose corn syrup, making them insanely sweet and super bad for you. I prefer to keep mine fully unsweetened, but for a sweeter taste, you can add a little of any sweetener you desire. I love to use my BBQ sauce in my BBQ Pulled Chicken and Coleslaw, Classic BBQ Meatloaf and Lemon Roasted Broccoli, and Bean Kaled by Cheese. If you instead want some ketchup, you should see my Date Sweetened Ketchup or Pickle Ketchup with Hot Honey

- 6 oz (170 g) Tomato paste, canned
- 1/3 cup (80 g) Water
- 1/3 cup (80 g) Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp (30 g) Soy sauce, low sodium, gluten free
- 1 tbsp (10 g) Paprika
- 1 tbsp (10 g) Chili powder
- 1 tbsp (10 g) Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp (10 g) Onion powder
- 1/2 tsp (1.5 g) Cinnamon

1. Whisk together all the ingredients in a medium saucepot. Cover, and cook over low heat for about 20 minutes, or until bubbling and thickened

2. Transfer to a large mason jar, and let cool at room temperature (uncovered) for about 30 minutes before covering with a lid and refrigerating. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze indefinitely
