Method
 

  1. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced shallots and cook for two minutes until soft and translucent.
  2. Stir in tomato paste and cook for one minute until darkened to a deep mahogany color with a sweet roasted fragrance.
  3. Pour in water, apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, tamarind paste, and chopped Medjool dates. Whisk until tomato paste dissolves completely.
  4. Cover saucepan with a lid and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes until dates soften completely.

Simmering real Medjool dates creates natural body and caramel sweetness without corn syrup.
