Freeze it in small or large containers to give quick flavor to chicken anytime. 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 ¼ cup unsulfured molasses 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 3 tablespoons white vinegar 2 teaspoons coarse salt 1 ½ 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. Print
