Gluten-Free Barbecue Sauce Without Tomatoes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/3 cup chopped onion
• 3/4 cup carrots, grated
• 2 cloves garlic - minced, grated or crushed
• 1/2 cup gluten-free white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon gluten-free tomato-free chipotle sauce or hot sauce (I use Buffalo brand.)
• 1 teaspoon hickory liquid smoke
• 1/2 cup agave nectar or sugar
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/8 teaspoon cumin
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon mace
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 15-20 turns freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup pure dark molasses
• Filtered water (may need)
• Fruit juice (may need)

Directions

1. In a medium size pan add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan and preheat on medium heat. Add and sauté the onion and carrots until tender. Lower heat to medium-low; stir often.
2. Add garlic; stir and sauté an additional minute.
3. Add vinegar and spices; stir; add liquid smoke, molasses, juice and agave; stir. Simmer for about 30 minutes if using agave; or about 45 minutes or until thickened, if using sugar. You may have to thin the agave one out with juice or water. Or if you allow one made with sugar to over thicken.
4. Add mixture to food processor; and blend until onion and carrots are thoroughly smooth.
5. Use as needed, warm or at room temperature; refrigerate leftovers.
