1 tin tomato paste
1/3 cup pumpkin pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon paprika

1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Optional: 1 teaspoon cayenne
Optional: 1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin spice for more of a pumpkin flavor
Place all ingredients into a large pot (it will splatter slightly, so avoid using a small pot), and mix well to combine.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Transfer to blender and blend until smooth.
Taste and adjust spices to your liking (add more sweetness, spiciness as desired).
