Ingredients:
| 2 tablespoons | vegetable oil |
| 1 | small white onion, diced small |
| 3 | garlic cloves, finely chopped |
| 1 (16-ounce) can | tomato paste |
| 2 teaspoons | ground mustard |
| 1 (28-ounce) can | tomato sauce |
| 1/4 cup | unsulfured molasses |
| 2 tablespoons | Worcestershire sauce |
| 3 tablespoons | white vinegar |
| 2 teaspoons | coarse salt |
| 1 1/2 teaspoons | ground pepper |
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add onion and cook until completely soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
Add tomato paste and mustard; cook, stirring constantly, until paste turns a brick-red color, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups water, tomato sauce, molasses, Worcestershire, vinegar, salt, and pepper and stir until smooth.
Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to low and partially cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours (thin with water if sauce becomes too thick). Season to taste with vinegar, salt, and pepper. Let cool completely before using.
