Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 3 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon hickory smoke powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon xantham gum
Directions
  1. In a heavy-bottom stockpot, add in the all of the ingredients, except for the hickory smoke powder and xantham gum.
  2. Bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer — the sauce should slowly reduce over time. Simmer for 4 hours, stirring occasionally until so the bottom of the pot does not burn.
  3. Taste for seasonings, the sauce should have a caramelized sweetness to it. Whisk in the hickory smoked powder and xantham gum. Carefully blend with a hand blender. Cool and reserve.
