In a classic barbecue sauce, Dried Plum Puree adds depth, deepening the flavor while smoked paprika and ground chipotle peppers adds smokiness.
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the puree and water. Add to the saucepan along with the tomato puree and stir to combine. Season with the remaining ingredients. Cook over low heat until the sauce has reduced to a thick sauce consistency, about 20 minutes. For a smooth texture, puree in a blender. Refrigerate for up to 1 month.
