Ingredients
  • 1½ c crushed tomatoes
  • 4 tbs apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbs minced onion (or ¼ c white fresh onion, diced)

  • 2 tbs black strap molasses

Instructions
  1. Add all ingredients to medium sauce pan on medium heat.
  2. Bring to a slow simmer, stirring often, for 15 minutes.
  3. CAREFULLY pour sauce into a high speed blender. Blend for 1 minute until silky smooth.
  4. Pour into airtight container, leave the lid off until cool. Then cap it and toss in the fridge until ready to use! Should keep for up to a month. I haven't actually been able to keep it around longer than that yet!
