  • 8 Medjool Dates pitted, soaked & drained
  • 6 oz tomato paste

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  • 1. In high speed blender or food processor, add all ingredients–making sure Medjool dates have been pitted, soaked and drained–and blend until smooth.

  • 4. Transfer cooled sauce to 16oz jar– Option to strain BBQ sauce through fine mesh strainer for a smoother sauce, patting sauce with spoon or back of measuring cup to strain.
