This delectable homemade condiment combines the deep, malty flavour of Guinness beer with the smoky, sweet and tangy flavours of traditional barbecue sauce. Slather it on chicken, ribs or burgers to add a unique twist to your barbecue routine.

Ingredients

1/2 cup tomato paste

Add all ingredients to a heavy, non-reactive saucepan and whisk to combine. Slowly bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a gentle simmer.
