Copycat!

I love Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce! This is my attempt to copy it...my family said I came VERY close!

Sweet & Smokey BBQ Sauce
INGREDIENTS;
1-6oz. can tomato paste
2 cups water
3 Tbls. canned crushed pineapple
1/2 heaping tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. liquid smoke
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 Tbls. fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 Tbls. molasses
4 Tbls. light corn syrup
1 Tbls. sugar
3 Tbls. cold water + 1 Tbls. corn starch - slurry to thicken sauce

DIRECTIONS;
In a medium size saucepan over medium heat, mix together all ingredients except for the slurry.
Cook and stir til well combined and heated through. With an immersion blender, puree the mixture til smooth.
Allow mixture to boil, stirring often.
Reduce heat to a simmer and let cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Then add in the slurry. Stir and cook about another 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool.
Pour into glass jar and refridgerate until ready to use.
