Pumpkin Barbecue Sauce is our new favorite condiment! This naturally sweetened barbecue sauce swaps pure pumpkin puree for the ketchup and other sweetened tomato products, and maple syrup instead of a mountain of brown sugar.

Instructions

In a Dutch oven, measure out the pumpkin, vinegar, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, tomato juice, tomato paste and the soy sauce. Whisk together until combined.
Season with the pepper, cinnamon, ginger, garlic powder, allspice and cayenne, then heat over low heat.
Bring the pan to a simmer, and let cook for 30 minutes. (The barbecue sauce will thicken very quickly, so keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.)
Once cooked and very thick, transfer the barbecue sauce into a mason jar, and marinate overnight.
Serve at room-temperature with your favorite slow-cooked meats and sides.
