BBQ Sauce-Clean eating style

Clean BBQ Sauce

In our sculpt class we were discussing clean eating and how most BBQ sauces have HFCS in them. BOOO. This is a recipe that we use. It uses molasses or dark Agave nectar for sweetening. Ingredients: 2 tbsp. canola oil 1 small white onion, diced small 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 can (6 oz.) tomato paste 2 tsp. ground mustard 1 can (28 oz.) tomato sauce 1/4 cup unsulfured molasses (you can substitute this with dark agave nectar) 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 3 tbsp. white vinegar 1 1/2 tsp. ground pepper Directions: In a medium saucepan, heat canola oil over medium heat.  Add diced onion and cook until completely soft, approximately 5 minutes.  Add garlic and cook about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and mustard.  Stirring constantly, cook until paste turns a bright red in color, approximately 5 minutes.  Add 2 cups water, tomato sauce, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper.  Stir until smooth. Bring mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cover partially.  Stirring occasionally, simmer for 2 hours.  You can thin the sauce down with water if it becomes too thick.  Add more vinegar, salt and/or pepper to taste (if desired). Let completely cool before using. Note:  Can be refrigerated up to 1 week or frozen up to 4 months. Source: Everyday Food
