Smoky Sweet BBQ Sauce

Small batch. Sweet, smoky, a little hot.

Need

• ½ cup organic Heinz ketchup
• 1 Tbsp tomato paste
• 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 Tbsp DeLallo Tricolor sweet and hot pepper juice (just use pickle juice if you don't have any)
• 2 tsp honey
• 2 tsp light brown sugar
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• 2 tsp Lea & Perrins
• 2 tsp Inglehoffer stone ground mustard
• 2 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp chili powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp coarse black pepper
• ¾ tsp Crystal

Method

Whisk the ketchup and tomato paste smooth. Add the rest. Simmer on low until it coats a spoon, about 5 to 10 minutes. Stop sooner if it already tastes right. Off the heat, stir in 1 tsp butter. Salt only if it needs it.
