Homemade Paleo Barbecue Sauce

Ingredients:
14.5 oz can diced tomatoes in juice
1 white onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 T tomato paste
2 T dijon mustard
3 T apple cider vinegar
3 T balsamic vinegar
2 T Coconut Liquid Aminos or Braggs or Soy Sauce
1/4 c sorghum
1 T honey
1 T extra virgin olive oil
2 1/2 T paprika
1/2 t cayenne pepper 
2 t KOSHER salt
1 cup drained pineapple chunks from a can (save the juice!!)

3/4 cup pineapple juice from the can

Directions:
In a food processor or blender combine all ingredients for BBQ sauce. Blend until smooth. Taste. (It won't taste quite right because it hasn't been cooked yet, but you should be able to tell if you need more seasonings.) Adjust seasonings. The flavor will develop once it cooks with the pork, but I do recommend you taste it before cooking. 

Make sauce as described, simmer on medium low heat for 45 minutes to an hour, checking and stirring often and adding either chicken or beef broth as it cooks to get the desired consistency you want. You will need the broth as the sauce will continue to thicken up as it cooks and it is already thick to begin with. I would have a cup of broth on hand and add as needed throughout the cooking time.
