1 tbs minced onion (or ¼ c white fresh onion, diced)
5 tbs maple syrup
2 tbs black strap molasses
1½ tbs salt
1 tbs mustard
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp liquid smoke
Instructions
Add all ingredients to medium sauce pan on medium heat.
Bring to a slow simmer, stirring often, for 15 minutes.
CAREFULLY pour sauce into a high speed blender. Blend for 1 minute until silky smooth.
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!
