Recently while on a job, the customer gave us a bunch of tomatoes and suggested making BBQ Sauce with them. Honestly, I’d never heard of, or even thought of that. It sounded interesting though, and if I made it myself, it wouldn’t have all that sugar and possible other nasty ingredients in it.
The recipe I followed called for tomato paste, but I wanted to make it with the tomatoes I had. So I blended them up, then strained out the seeds and skin. I did add 1 thing of tomato paste later to try to thicken it more, but it was 95% tomatoes.
It is Keto, Low-Carb, THM, and Vegan, so no worries in the health department. We also blended up the remaining tomatoes for sauce.

Healthy, Homemade, Vegan, BBQ Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Pureed Tomatoes (Or Tomato Paste)
- 1/2 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Pyure (Or sweetener of choice)
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tbsp Liquid Smoke
- 2 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/4 tsp Chili Powder
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper (Add more if you want it hot)
Instructions
- Wash the tomatoes and cut the stems out.
- Blend until pureed. Strain the puree, then pour into a small saucepan.
- Add all the other ingredients, and cook on the stove on med/high heat until it boils. Then turn back to a simmer, and cook out the water until it reaches the desired thickness.
- (Keep in mind... this won't be as thick as "Sweet Baby Rays.")
- Also, if you don't want to watch it simmer for hours, you can cook it in your crockpot uncovered for the amount of desired hours. I did 4 or 5 hours, but I uncovered it way later...not in the beginning.
- When done cooking, pour into pint jars, and hot water bath them. You can look online how to do that. I did the batch 5x, so if you like your BBQ then go for i!!!
- Store in the fridge after opening.
