In a medium-size saucepan whisk together the tomato puree, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic-infused oil, smoked paprika, (and if using ground cumin ). Season with salt, pepper and cayenne, eason lightly for now because the flavors will change.
Simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes, whisking occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened.
Season again with salt and pepper, if needed. If you would like more spice, add more cayenne.Cook for about a minute more to blend the flavors. Remove from the heat, allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
