Whole30 BBQ Sauce

I (Jenni) used a combination of recipes from these two sources (at the bottom)

INGREDIENTS

1 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
1 small can tomatoe sauce
2 dates

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup white vinegar

3 tbsp organic Dijon mustard
Juice of 1 lime
2 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 cup water
¼ tsp all natural liquid smoke

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Tabasco or hot sauce

I never measure anything.  I just put everything in the blender and pureed it.  Then I put it in a pot and simmered it for like close to an hour.  It tasted great!  We ate it on shredded pork that I made in the crock pot with sweet potato chips.

Ingredients:
1 whole, large chicken
2 Tablespoons ghee or your fat of choice
½ white onion, minced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1½ cups apple cider vinegar
½ cup tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
2 Tablespoons tomato paste
3 Tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Tabasco or hot sauce

Directions:

Rinse and pat the chicken dry. Place it in the slow cooker and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5 hours.

(Alternatives to making a crock pot chicken: poach 1½ to 2 pounds of chicken breasts or buy a pre-made rotisserie chicken from the market.)

Meanwhile…

In a large saucepan, melt the ghee over medium heat. Add the minced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes or until softened.

Now, add the rest of the ingredients: garlic, apple cider vinegar, tomato sauce, tomato paste, honey, salt, black pepper, and Tabasco. Stir well and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer over low heat.

Simmer the sauce until the volume has reduced by a quarter to a third. It should be slightly thickened but not pasty.

When the chicken has cooled a bit - unless you have asbestos hands - shred all the meat and unite it with the tangy, savory sauce.
