Summer is around the corner and you are ready to take the cover off the grill. You are going to need a BBQ sauce that takes only minutes to prepare, paleo friendly and delicious. This is great on chicken, beef, and pork. Serve it to your kids with their chicken tenders. No added sugars and a little heat. If you want more heat, leave the seeds and the veins of the jalapeno intact and if you like a lot of heat substitute a serrano chili.
INGREDIENTS
6 medium Roma tomatoes
1 medium onion cut into 4 wedges
2 fresh jalapeno peppers
4 cloves garlic
2 Tbs olive oil
1 cup water
1 6oz can tomato paste
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 pitted whole Medjool dates
1/2 tsp dried mustard
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp sea salt
