Before diving in, gather together all the ingredients listed above. This makes the process smoother. Having everything ready will set you up for success!

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tomato concentrate with the filtered water. Stir until you achieve a smooth mixture.

Next, add smoked paprika, black pepper, sea salt, cayenne chili powder, onion powder, and garlic granules to the bowl. This is where the magic happens! Each spice adds its unique weight to the sauce’s profile.

Incorporate the honey, giving the sauce its signature sweetness. Stir well until you can’t see any clumps.

Now, add the white distilled vinegar. This ingredient will provide that tangy element that brightens the sauce. Give it another good stir.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the entire mixture and throw in the finely chopped jalapeño pepper. Allow it to simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This will marry all the flavors together beautifully.

Once the sauce has cooled, pour it into a clean, airtight container. This sauce can be kept in the fridge for up to two weeks—if it lasts that long!
