Simple BBQUE Sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 medium Spanish onion
6 cloves garlic
Pinch of crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (28-ounce) can whole, peeled tomatoes (with puree)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon salt (kosher is best)
Freshly ground black pepper
Chop up the onion, mince the cloves of garlic & puree the tomatoes in the blender. Then heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and crushed pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 1 minute more.
Add the tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, and salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until deep red in color and reduced to about 4 cups, about 25 minutes. Season with pepper to taste. Use now, or store, covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
Hope it works!
