Honey Barbecue-with-a-Bite Sauce -- 60 minutes -- Yields 1 Qt.

Description
First post in two years... embarrassing.  Oh well.  At least I have about six to ten new recipes to add!

This is a honey barbecue sauce with a kick - I wanted to have barbecued chicken (tofu for Fuego), but most of the sauces on the market either have high fructose corn syrup, gluten, mustard (Fuego repellent), or just aren't very tasty.  Fuego and I loved this one (as did Sonic-the-Nephew when he visited!).  Hope you enjoy it too.


Ingredients
25 oz tomato purée (fresh is always best - parboil to remove skins, then use a blender or food processor)
5 pinches salt (~3/4 - 1t)
1/2 t cayenne
1/2 t chili powder
1/2C honey
1/4-1/2C molasses
1/4t cinnamon
2T garlic (or 1T garlic +1T onion powder)
1/2 lime (juice)
1/4C red wine
3-4T Balsamic Vinegar

Heat slowly over medium low heat and simmer gently for about 45 minutes.  

Adjust molasses, salt, and vinegar to taste.
