Ingredients
- 6 medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup organic apple juice, unsweetened
- 1/2 cup tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, or balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small sauce pan on medium-low
- Stir to combine as the ingredients heat up
- Don’t bring to a boil, just keep over heat long enough for the dates to soften, tomato paste to reduce, and all wet ingredients to come together
- Transfer to a blender (or use immersion blender) and blend for 1-2 minutes until sauce is a smooth consistency
- Add a tablespoon or two of water if you like a thinner sauce
Notes
Optional:
Replace apple juice with pineapple juice if you prefer
Increase/decrease cayenne per spice level
Can use an immersion blender and blend instead of a standalone blender
Stays fresh in the fridge for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container
