  • 1/2 cup of diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup of diced white onion
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of chipotle pepper powder
  • 1/4 cup of tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar
  • 2 chipotle peppers
  • 3/4 cup of organic black strap molasses

Instructions

  1. Heat up a pot and saute the onions with the vegetable oil, garlic powder and chipotle powder.
  2. Once the onions are soft and lightly browned, add in the tomato paste and cook out for a few minutes.
  3. Add in the molasses, chipotle peppers and vinegar and simmer for 10 minutes
  4. Puree with a food processor. The barbecue sauce should be well blended but will remain a little chunky. Cool in the refrigerator and keep covered until ready to use.
