Backyard BBQ Sauce

Submitted by Eat Your Vegetables

"From the Veganomicon. Excellent for BBQ Seitan Steaks in the summertime. This takes awhile to simmer, but it makes a lot, so it can be made early in the season then kept in the freezer for later use."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 4 cups

ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped as finely as you can
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 1⁄3 cup molasses
• 1⁄3 cup white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
• 2 teaspoons liquid smoke

directions

1. Preheat a saucepan over medium heat. Place the onions in the pan and saute in oil until browned (about 7 min). Add the garlic and saute for another minute. Add all the other ingredients except the mustard and liquid smoke, and cook for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour, uncovered, stirring occasionally.
2. Lower the heat if the sauce begins to splatter everywhere. Add the mustard and liquid smoke and taste for sweetness/sourness. Adjust the flavors if you think it's necessary, and cook for 5 more minutes. If you like a smooth BBQ sauce then puree it, but thats not entirely necessary.

Really good, but a little too sweet. I will make this again but cut back on the sugar.
