This easy honey tomato glaze is so much more than a coating for meat. Use it as your house BBQ sauce, serve it as a dip, or rub it on anything from ribs and chicken to tofu and veggies. It’s so delicious that it might be worth planning an entire potluck around this sauce.

For best results, use tomato paste in a tube. Instead of transferring the remaining tomato paste from a can into a storage container, the tube stays fresh long-term in the fridge. Plus, you can easily squeeze out only what you need.
