- Remove from heat and let cool.

Notes
- Ketchup: I used Primal Kitchen’s ketchup that is made with super clean ingredients and no added sugar. If you use a different ketchup that is sweeter you might not need the molasses so be sure and taste before adding.
- Smokey: if you want it even smokier I would recommend adding additional liquid smoke 1/4 teaspoon at a time until you have reached your desired level.
- Paleo: if you want this to be paleo simply use the Primal Kitchen ketchup and skip the molasses.
- Storage: store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
