- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar substitute (e.g., Stevia-based)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke (optional for smoky flavor)

Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and low-sodium soy sauce.
Stir in the brown sugar substitute, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and liquid smoke (if using).
Add the water and mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and thicken slightly.

Serve as a dipping sauce, baste for grilling, or condiment for your favorite dishes.
