Servings: persons

2 cans tomato paste, 5.5 ounces each
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup honey
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup full-bodied red wine
1/4 cup dark molasses (blackstrap or cooking molasses)
1 tablespoon smoked mild paprika
1 tablespoon dry mustard powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more to taste)

1
Mix all ingredients together in a large saucepan. Set over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes or until thickened to your liking.
2
After about 10 minutes of simmering, taste the sauce and if you think it needs more kick, add a bit more cayenne pepper. Then continue simmering for the remaining 5 minutes.
3
Let cool, and pour into a bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid. I like to keep some in a squeeze bottle for ease of use. (An empty honey or syrup bottle works well.)
4
This sauce will keep for months in the refrigerator, and it also freezes well.
