Equipment

Ingredients
- 1 cup no sugar added tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce choose a low-sugar brand
- 1 tablespoon mustard Dijon or yellow
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon chili powder optional, for a spicy kick
- ¼ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- 2 tablespoons erythritol or monk fruit sweetener natural sugar substitutes
- ¼ cup water
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground clove
- ¼ cup lemon juice
Instructions
Start By Mixing The Base:
- In a medium sized pot, pour in the tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and lemon juice. Give it a good stir to blend everything together.
Add The Spices And Sweetener:
- Toss in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, chili powder (if you like a little heat), salt, your choice of erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, cinnamon, and ground clove. Whisk it all until the spices are well combined.
Pour In Some Water:
- Add about a quarter cup of water to loosen the sauce up a bit and help all those flavours mix as it cooks. Stir again.
Simmer The Sauce:
- Put the pot on the stove over medium heat. Once it starts to gently bubble, turn the heat down to low. Let it cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring now and then so it doesn’t stick or burn. You’ll notice the sauce thickening a bit as it cooks.
Give It A Taste:
- Try a spoonful and see if it needs anything maybe a pinch more salt, a little extra sweetener, or a dash more spice. Adjust it until it’s just right for you.
Cool And Store:
- Take the sauce off the heat and let it cool down. Then, pour it into a clean jar or container and pop it in the fridge. The flavors get even better after a few hours or overnight. Use it within a week or two for the best taste.
