St. Joanie's Gluten Free BBQ Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup tomato puree
• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• ¼ cup cider vinegar
• ⅔ cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup tomato paste
• 3 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoon molasses
• ¾ cup water
• 4 tablespoon butter

Directions

In a medium saucepan, add all ingredients except butter and mix well.  (I usually thin the tomato paste with the vinegars, so it blends easier.)  Start at medium heat for about 5 minutes, then reduce heat to low until it thickens - about 45 minutes to an hour.  Remove from heat, then stir in butter until it melts and blends in, let the sauce cool.

(Double the recipe to use full cans of the tomato products, but you don't need to double the water.)
