Infused with Wojo Solventless Oil
Ingredients
- 8 oz tomato sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2/3 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tsp liquid smoke
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

- Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer.
- Once the onions and garlic are caramelized, add them to the saucepan.
- Use an immersion blender to puree everything together. A blender can also be used, but you’ll want the mixture to cool slightly first.
