From the most excellent cookbook, Small Victories by Julia Turshen.

1/2 cup molasses

4 garlic cloves, finely minced or crushed in mortar and pestle (our preference)

4 T Dijon Mustard ( we use our own homemade Grainy Mustard)

4 T Apple Cider Vinegar

1/2 cup ketchup

3 tsp smoked paprika (do not substitute, this is a must for the recipe)

2 tsp salt

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk together.   That’s it!  Store in glass jar in refrigerator.  Keeps for a very long time – delicious on BBF Grilled Chicken and Pork Chops.
