Instructions

Combine tomato purée, boiling water, apple cider vinegar, and finely chopped dates in a blender. Let stand for 10 minutes to soften the dates slightly.
Blend the ingredients until smooth. If necessary, scrape the sides a few times to ensure everything is well mixed. Set the tomato purée mixture aside.
Heat the coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the mustard powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and coconut aminos. Stir until fragrant. This takes about 30 seconds.
Remove the pan from the heat, add the tomato purée mixture, and stir well. Add 150 ml of water, then return the saucepan to the heat. Simmer gently with the lid on - it will splatter quite a bit - until the sauce has reached the desired thickness. Keep in mind that the sauce will thicken as it cools.
Remove the pan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool. Transfer it to a clean, sealable jar, and store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
