Ingredients
- 12 Medjool dates, pitted about 1 1/2 cups loosely packed
- 15 ounces tomato sauce canned
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce vegan
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce low sodium
- 1/4 cup maple syrup real
- 3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika more to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Take the pits out and soak the Medjool dates for about 30 minutes. (Dry or old dates will need longer to soak - up to 3 hours.) The dates will be very soft when done soaking.
- Discard soaking water from the dates.
- Add the dates and all other ingredients to a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high for about 3 minutes or until all of the dates have been pulverized and well blended.
- Pour sauce into a medium sized saucepan.
- Stirring often, cook on low heat for about 15 minutes or until thickened.
- If you don't plan on using right away, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
