Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon chipotle chile powder

Method

  • 1) Mix the sugar and water in a pan and simmer until the sugar dissolves. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer on low for 30 minutes.
  • NOTES: made exactly to spec and it was a little tart and spicy to others. Added 1/2C ketchup and about 1TBS raw honey and it smoothed everything out well. Chocolate was really subtle.
