Barbeque Sauce

My husband is a diabetic. All commercial BBQ sauces have sugar in them. He can’t have sugar, so I needed to create a wonderful BBQ Sauce that I can use without guilt or fear. You can add your own favourites to it. Make it your own or follow the recipe below:

1 large can of tomato sauce - not paste, not ketchup, not crushed tomatoes
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
¼ c balsamic vinegar
2 T Splenda
1 tsp Liquid Smoke - any smoke you like. I like hickory
1T Tomato Paste
2 T Planter’s Sauce (hard to find – try West Indian grocers) but if you can’t find it substitute HP sauce or anything else you fancy - or leave it out
1 tsp dry mustard
1 bottle of Beer - your favourite will do
Salt to taste
1 T butter

Combine all ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes.

Mixture is usually quite thick so add about ½ bottle of beer while cooking and add the rest as needed. If anything is left over, you may drink it.

If you want it spicy, add a few drops of Tabasco.
