Smokey BBQ Sauce

We love the sweet smoky tang of this Whole30, Paleo, and Vegan friendly BBQ sauce. The oranges and smoked paprika are a nice complement to the tomato base. The great thing about homemade BBQ sauce is that there are no refined sugars or fillers and you can customize the recipe to make it your own. Terrific to have on hand as a grilling marinade, sauce for pulled pork or chicken, or to use as a spread on sandwiches.
