No-Sugar Barbecue Sauce

INGREDIENTS 

  • 4 medium tomatoes

  • 1 onion

  • 3 cloves garlic

  • 1 fuji apple

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • 1/4 tsp cayenne

  • 1 tsp coriander

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • pinch of pepper

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar

  • 1/2 tbsp coconut aminos (or Braggs Liquid Aminos)

  • 2 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar

  • 3 tbsp honey

DIRECTIONS

Dice the tomatoes, onions, garlic and apple (leave the skin on the apple). 

Add all ingredients to a pot. Cover and simmer on medium/medium-low for about 30-40 minutes. You want it simmering, but not boiling.

After 30-40 minutes, all of the ingredients should be cooked and pretty well broken down. It should be starting to look sauce-like, but still a bit on the chunky side. At this point, turn the heat off, remove the bay leaf, and use a blender to blend the sauce.
