Homemade BBQ Sauce

Homemade BBQ Sauce

This recipe is inspired by Ina Garten, I have adjusted the quantities slightly, removed a few ingredients and use a combination of maple syrup and honey instead of straight honey. It makes 1 litre of sauce, so I often make half a recipe!

1/4 cup neutral oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 x 5.5oz tins tomato paste
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup hoisin sauce
2 tbsp chilli powder

Heat the oil and onion over low heat and cook for 10 minutes until the onion is soft. Add the remaining ingredients, whisk together and simmer for 30 minutes until thick. Pour into a sterilized jar. Keep in the fridge for up to four months. *OPTIONAL: Once cooked, add chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (to taste) for a smoky flavour.*
