Low Carb BBQ Sauce

Another cooking adventure today was Low Carb BBQ sauce. I made Bruce’s BBQ sauce found here: https://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lowcarb-recipe-help-suggestions/58443-need-bruces-bbq-sauce-recipe-qiuck.html

I reduce the recipe down and used the following:

8oz can Tomato Sauce (lowest carb sauce you can find)

1Tbsp Splenda or equivalent sweetner

1Tbsp Distilled Vinegar

½ Tbsp Chili Powder

½ Tbsp Paprika

¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper (more or less depending on how spicy you want it)

1Tbsp Liquid Smoke

½ Tbsp Sugar Free Maple Syrup

1Garlic Clove

½ Tbsp Dehydrated Onion Flakes

I let it simmer until it reduced.

Comments: This is by far the best low carb BBQ sauce that I have tried to make. It has a nice smokey flavor without too much vinegar. I omitted the bourbon since I didn’t have any on hand. I made one batch and it was too spicy for my tastes, so I made another batch without the cayenne pepper and combined the two batches and it had the right amount of spiciness. I tried the BBQ sauce on lil smokies and it tasted great! I plan to make pulled chicken using this BBQ sauce. I’m still on the hunt for a mustard base low carb BBQ sauce.
