This sauce is made with real ingredients. It contains no-added-sugar, preservatives, or any other 'junk' you find in most commercial BBQ sauces in the market. It is also inexpensive and fairly quick to prepare.
Heat a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add all ingredients, stir to combine, and bring to a low simmer for 5 minutes. You don’t want it to boil, just get warmed through. Heating will allow the flavors to marry and soften the dates.
The amount of water recommended makes a thick bbq sauce. If you like yours thinner, add water and blend until desired consistency is reached.
Store in an airtight container or mason jar or similar glass jar. Will keep in the fridge for at least 4 weeks, or frozen for 1 year.
