Combine all, heat over stove.

Janelle + Grandma’s Special Sauce

• 1 8 oz jar of grown-on-my-urban-farm then canned tomatoes (OR your favorite high quality 15oz can crushed tomatoes)
• 3-4 T tomato paste
• 2-3 T homemade canned sweet pickled, finely chopped (or bread & butter pickles)
• 1/2 small red onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 T dark brown sugar
• Coarse and freshly ground: salt and white pepper
• 2 T white vinegar (OR white wine, white balsamic or apple cider vinegar)
• 2 tsp mustard (I use stone ground)
• 1 T liquid smoke
• 2-3 tsp honey

Add ingredients into pot, and simmer until onion softens and sauce is heated through.
