Ingredients

• 1 cup Sea buckthorn berries
• 1 cup Tomato paste
• 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Molasses
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sea buckthorn berries thoroughly under cold water to remove any debris or stems.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, add the sea buckthorn berries and 1/4 cup of water. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften.

Step 3

Use a fine-mesh sieve to strain the cooked berries, pressing with a spoon to extract as much juice and pulp as possible. Discard the remaining solids.

Step 4

In the same saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it deepens in color.

Step 6

Stir in the sea buckthorn pulp, apple cider vinegar, molasses, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, and the remaining 1/4 cup of water.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, honey, or vinegar to balance the flavors.

Step 9

Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before using.

Step 10

Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
