Hoisin Sauce

I made something gfcf and soy-free that my children liked, except for the vegetables, of course. I was searching for a soy-free recipe for Hoisin sauce, and found one at http://cookbad.blogspot.com/2008/02/hoisin-sauce-some-things-you-can-make.html

Here is my version of the ingredient list:
Hoisin Sauce
1/2 cup dried adzuki beans, rinsed and then cooked
2tbsp toasted sesame oil
1tbsp minced garlic
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1 Tbsp molasses (to replace 1/3 cup soy sauce)
1/4 tsp dried red pepper flakes, or more to taste

I used canned black beans and pureed them. It was okay, but there was a link from another site to a recipe for General Tso's kitchen that I used my hoisin sauce in, and I love it.
