Yield:12

Equipment

medium saucepan
whisk

Ingredients

6 ounces tomato paste no sugar added
½ cup apple cider vinegar
¾ cup water
½ cup Brown Swerve
2 teaspoons liquid smoke
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
1-3 pinches cayenne optional, for extra heat
hot sauce optional, for spicy BBQ sauce

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in medium saucepan and whisk thoroughly. Bring mixture to boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, 10 to 15 minutes, or until slightly thickened. If mixture simmers too violently, reduce heat to medium-low.
Remove sauce from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

If you'd rather not use liquid smoke, you can leave it out, but you'll lose some of the smokiness that makes this BBQ sauce so good!
