- 1 6 -ounce can tomato paste ((organic when possible))
- 2 -3 Tbsp whiskey ((I used Bourbon Whiskey from Trader Joe’s))
- 2 -3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

- 1/4 tsp each sea salt and ground black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Steps
-
Add all ingredients to a small saucepan over medium heat and whisk to combine.
-
Cook until bubbly - about 5 minutes. Then reduce heat to low and continue cooking for 15 more minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
-
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more whiskey for a more boozy flavor, brown sugar for added sweetness, vinegar for more tang, and liquid smoke extra smokiness.
-
Transfer to a jar and let cool before putting lid on. Will keep in the fridge for at least 2-3 weeks (probably longer).
