• 2 Tablespoons Hoskins Raw Blackberry Vinegar
  
• 1 Tablespoon coconut aminos (or tamari)
• 1 Tablespoon minced dried onion
• 1 to 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 Tablespoon black strap molasses
• ½ teaspoon mustard
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Blend ingredients together in a high speed blender. Serve with fresh or dehydrated veggies, or use in place of regular BBQ sauce when grilling. This stuff is absolutely amazing when served cooked or raw!
