Ingredients
- 1 cup Tomato paste

- 0.5 cup Corn syrup
- 3 tablespoons Molasses
- 0.75 cup Distilled white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground red pepper (cayenne)

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato paste, water, and corn syrup. Whisk until fully combined and smooth.
Add in the molasses, white vinegar, and liquid smoke. Stir well to ensure they are evenly incorporated.
Stir in the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and hickory-smoked salt. Mix thoroughly.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring regularly to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce gently simmer for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened and the flavors have melded together.
Once done, remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool to room temperature.
Transfer the BBQ sauce to an airtight container or jar and refrigerate. The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Use the sauce as desired for grilling, dipping, or marinating your favorite dishes.
