Ingredients

5 oz tomato paste
3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
⅓ cup powdered erythritol
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons liquid smoke
½ Tablespoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 cup water
Optional: 1 Tablespoon butter

Instructions

Take a small saucepan and add all the ingredients, except butter, if used.
Mix and bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously. Reduce to low heat and simmer for 15 minutes until water evaporates and the sauce thickens. This will bold in flavours and reduce the tomato paste tartness. Once you have achieved the desired consistency, remove it from heat.
Taste and add extra salt or cayenne pepper, if needed.
Optional: add 1 tbsp of butter, providing a glossy look to your sauce.

Notes

You can replace powdered erythritol with any powdered keto sweetener or a granulated sweetener that dissolves.

After cooking, let it cool and put into an airtight container or a Mason Jar or two. Store in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.
