Ingredients
- 1 inch of stem ginger, thinly sliced
- 2 star anise
- 1 can fire-roasted tomatoes (or 3 lbs of fresh tomatoes, grilled, peeled and chopped))
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 orange, zest and juice
- 1/3 cup cider vinegar
- 3-5 dates, pitted and chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and smashed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Method
- Put the ginger and star anise in a cheesecloth bag (or tea ball or disposable loose tea bag) and tie closed with twine.
- Add the spice bag and all of the remaining ingredients to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Lower heat to the lowest setting possible, and simmer for 45 minutes. (Add water 1/4 c at a time if the mixture begins to dry out.)
- Remove from the heat. Discard the spice bag. Puree in a blender until totally smooth. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time to get to the consistency you prefer.
