Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sea buckthorn berries
- 1 cup Tomato paste
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Molasses
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Rinse the sea buckthorn berries thoroughly under cold water to remove any debris or stems.
In a small saucepan, add the sea buckthorn berries and 1/4 cup of water. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften.
Use a fine-mesh sieve to strain the cooked berries, pressing with a spoon to extract as much juice and pulp as possible. Discard the remaining solids.
In the same saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it deepens in color.
Stir in the sea buckthorn pulp, apple cider vinegar, molasses, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, and the remaining 1/4 cup of water.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, honey, or vinegar to balance the flavors.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before using.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
