Homemade BBQ Sauce (No Ketchup)

Ingredients

• 8 oz. tomato sauce
• 2 Tbsp tomato paste
• 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp molasses
• 1/2 Tbsp Dijon
• 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce^{Note 1}
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/8 tsp cayenne
• freshly cracked pepper (about 10 cranks of a pepper mill)

Directions

1. Combine all of the ingredients except the salt in a small sauce pan. Stir and heat over medium heat, allowing it to come up to a slight simmer.
2. Let the sauce cook and simmer lightly, stirring often, for five minutes. Taste the sauce and add salt if needed (I did not add any).
