Ingredients

  • 2 cups organic ketchup*
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar or pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce*
  • 2 tablespoons vegan Worcestershire sauce*
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha, or other hot sauce
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a medium sized bowl and whisk to combine. Makes about 2 1/2 cups or 18 ounces, the same amount in an average bottle of store bought barbecue sauce. Store in the refrigerator up to a week.
  • Use this recipe for Instant Pot BBQ Jackfruit, on veggie burgers, BBQ tofu or tempeh or even with these Easy Baked Tofu Nuggets.

Notes

  1. Look for a ketchup without high fructose corn syrup. 
  2. For Gluten Free, use gluten free tamari instead of the low sodium soy sauce.
  3. For the vegan Worcestershire sauce, I usually buy Annie's brand. If you can't find it, you can leave it out.
