Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 small white onion, diced small
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons ground mustard
- 1 can (28 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup unsulfered molasses
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground pepper
Directions
-
In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add onion and cook until completely soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
-
Add tomato paste and mustard; cook, stirring constantly, until paste turns a brick-red color, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups water, tomato sauce, molasses, Worcestershire, vinegar, salt, and pepper and stir until smooth.
-
Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to low and partially cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours (thin with water if sauce becomes too thick). Season to taste with vinegar, salt, and pepper. Let cool completely before using.

This is sensational! To make it yourself is such an ego boost.
