Easy Braai Sauce Recipe

vinegar

Lemon juice adds acidity with fewer calories.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: white sugar

Honey provides natural sweetness and flavor.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil is heart-healthy and has a high smoke point.

cayenne pepper

🥗Healthier: smoked paprika

💰Cheaper: chili powder

Smoked paprika adds depth without the heat.

In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, molasses, honey, brown sugar, liquid smoke, and seasoning.

Stir the ingredients together until well combined.

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency and flavor, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Transfer the braai sauce to a clean jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
