Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed or stewed tomatoes
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp vegan worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp liquid smoke
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 2 tbsp molasses
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (about 2 tbsp)
- 1 tsp salt
*All the ingredients for this recipe are from our pantry and freezer tips!
Instructions
*Watch the video below to see us make this BBQ sauce for our Ultimate BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Sandwich!
- Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. When your sauce starts to lightly bubble, reduce the heat and simmer with the lid on for 10 minutes.
- Blend the sauce using an immersion blender or stand up blender for a smooth texture and enjoy!
- Keeps well in a sealed container in the fridge for up to one week. I haven’t tried keeping it longer but you could try to freeze it in ice cube molds to preserve it longer.
Notes
*Cost Comparison: CAD $4.29 for 500ml ($0.86/100ml) vs CAD $0.70-$1.11/100ml for most store-bought BBQ sauce.
*If you don’t have chipotle peppers on hand you can substitute the heat with 3 tsp chilli garlic sauce and ½ tsp or more cayenne pepper. About half of a red Thai chilli pepper would work too!
*Store leftover chipotle peppers and adobo sauce in a sealable jar in your fridge. They keep well for 1 – 2 months. Likewise, freeze leftover tomato paste in a freezer safe jar and scoop out what you need whenever you need a tablespoon or so!
