Vegan BBQ Sauce

Ingredients

• 275 g organic ketchup
• 80 g maple syrup
• 3 tbs apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbs soy sauce or tamari
• 2 tbs molasses
• 1 tbs vegan Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbs liquid smoke

BBQ Spice Blend

• 1½ tsp smoked paprika
• 1½ tsp chili powder
• ¾ tsp black pepper
• ¼ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper

Directions

1. Add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl. Whisk well to combine. Taste, adding a pinch of salt or pepper as needed. For more sweetness, add a bit more maple syrup. For more smokiness, add a few drops more of liquid smoke or a few dashes of smoked paprika.
2. Transfer the BBQ sauce to a small frying pan and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring at least once a minute
3. Take off the heat. Once cool, transfer to an airtight jar and refrigerate. It will thicken as it chills. Store for 2 to 3 months in the refrigerator
