Ingredients

28 oz tomato puree, I use Cento

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 tablespoon Cellar Door Tomato Jam with Red Pepper 

1/2 cup maple sugar

1/4 cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon mustard powder

1/8 teaspoon ground clove

1/8 teaspoon ginger powder

1/8 teaspoon ancho powder

Method

Add all ingredients to a medium size pot, you'll also need a lid. Bring pot to a slow boil and mix ingredients until dissolved. Now turn the knob to low heat and put lid on pot- leaving the lid slightly open to allow air to escape and some liquid to evaporate. After a total of 60 minutes enjoy.
