Preheat the saucepan on medium-high heat with 2 TBSP of frying oil and add: ½ medium onion – finely chopped Sauté with occasional stirring until glossy (about 2 – 4 minutes). 1.2. Lower the temperature to medium and add: ½ cup of brown sugar While constantly stirring, let caramelize (about 2 minutes). 2. Simmer: 2.1. Add: 1 cup of water 2 LB of Roma tomatoes – cut into large pieces ¼ cup of Apple Cider Vinegar 2 TBSP of Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2 TSP of smoked paprika Optionally: ¼ TSP of Cayenne pepper Briefly stir and cover with a lid. Bring it to a simmer (about 195°F) with occasional stirring. 2.2. Lower the heat to medium and cook for about 20 minutes with occasional stirring. Optionally, add water during simmering to dilute the sauce (if the sauce is thickening too much). 3. Finishing phase: 3.1. Process until smooth with an immersion blender (while still cooking in the pot). Or, for a really fine texture, pour the sauce into the kitchen processor, and process until smooth for about 3 minutes on high speed. Important: Be careful when manipulating the hot sauce and make sure to leave an opening on the top of the kitchen food processor to prevent “explosions”. 3.2. Add: 2 TSP of ground mustard ¼ TSP of ground cloves ¼ TSP of ground cinnamon 3 cloves of garlic – grated ¼ TSP of salt ¼ TSP of ground pepper Thoroughly stir together using a whisk. 3.3. Cook (now without the lid) with occasional stirring until all ingredients are nicely incorporated (about 3 – 5 minutes). Tip: If you would like to have your sauce thicker, extend the cooking time for a few minutes until you reach the desired thickness. But keep in mind that the sauce will thicken more after cooling. 3.4. Taste and add sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper if needed. 4. Let cool before serving.
