Step 1

Add all the ingredients to a large saucepan and whisk to combine.

Step 2

Warm the sauce over medium heat and once bubbling, reduce the heat to low and simmer, whisking occasionally. Simmer the sauce until it thickened into a pourable paste, 8 minutes. Be sure to covering the pan with a lid slightly ajar to stop splattering.

Step 3

Taste and adjust the seasonings if desired. Add more maple / coconut sugar for sweetness, vinegar for acidity to balance the sweetness, paprika for smokiness. Option to add a pinch of chili flakes if you like the heat.

Step 4

Allow to cool slightly, then transfer to a sealable glass jar until ready to use.
