Submitted by punch_it_chewie
Yields 2-3 cups

1 can tomato sauce 1 can tomato paste
2 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp vinegar
¼ c. molasses 2 tbsp brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, crushed 4 tbsp red or white onion, minced
2 tbsp red pepper, minced 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp cumin 1 tsp chipotle chili pepper

Cook the garlic, onion, & red pepper until it’s soft, & then add all the rest of the ingredients. Simmer on low for 20-30 minutes. Keep stirring it often so it doesn’t burn, then refrigerate for a few days before you use it. This allows the flavors to blend & mellow. The cumin & chipotle chile pepper can be substituted by any of your favorite spices.
