Ingredients
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp molasses
1/2 tsp liquid smoke
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp non-alcoholic bourbon extract
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Whisk the tomato paste and apple cider vinegar in a medium saucepan over medium heat until smooth.
Stir in the brown sugar, molasses, and maple syrup until fully dissolved into the tomato base.
Add the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixture.
Simmer the sauce for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the sugars to caramelize and thicken naturally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat source.
Stir in the non-alcoholic bourbon extract until well combined and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Store in a sterilized airtight glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For a thinner sauce, add 1-2 tablespoons of water while simmering. For spicier sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
