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. Mix Sauce: Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisk until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or pepper as needed. For more sweetness, add additional maple syrup; for more smokiness, add a few drops of liquid smoke or a pinch of smoked paprika.
2. Simmer: Transfer the sauce to a small frying pan and simmer 3-5 minutes, stirring at least once per minute.
3. Cool & Store: Remove from heat and let cool. Transfer to an airtight jar and refrigerate. The sauce will thicken as it chills.
4. Storage: Keeps 2-3 months in the refrigerator.
