Sauté until onion and garlic is light brown, then add the remaining ingredients, including the tomato puree, brown sugar, and dried basil.
Allow the liquid to evaporate and the contents to reduce by half, about 10 minutes.
Once the liquid has evaporated, deglaze the pan with bone broth and remove it from the heat, and set it aside.
