Makes about 2 cups

This easy, no-cook sauce falls into that general realm of sweet and-pungent tomato-based sauces generically known as "barbecue sauce."

* 1 1/2 cups thick tomato sauce
* 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
* 1 tablespoon molasses
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari, or to taste
* 1 teaspoon each: paprika, chili powder, dry mustard, garlic powder, and dried oregano

Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well. Cover and let stand for at least an hour to allow the flavors to combine.
