Set a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.

Add 1 15-ounce can of tomato sauce, 3 ounces of tomato paste, 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar, and 6 pitted dates.

Add 1/2 cup of coconut aminos and all the spices: 3 teaspoons of garlic powder, 2 teaspoons of onion powder, 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of ground mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Bring the mixture to a boil.

Turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until the mixture reduces slightly and the dates soften.

Cover with a lid to keep the mixture from splashing out of the pot.

Use an immersion blender or carefully transfer the mixture to a high-powered blender like a Vitamix and blend on high until smooth.
