LYNCHBURG BARBECUE SAUCE (LOW SODIUM)
A very low sodium barbecue sauce that's not too sweet (which I prefer) from Dick Logue's newsletter of low sodium recipes, which I subscribe to. If you add it too early and it cooks longer than about 1/2 hour it blackens and gets crisp.

Steps:
- Mix ingredients together.
- Brush on meat while cooking during the last 1/2 hour of grilling.
Tips:
- Choose the right ingredients: Use low-sodium soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. If you can't find low-sodium versions, you can reduce the amount of regular soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce by half and add a little bit of water or broth to make up for the difference.
- Add sweetness with natural ingredients: Instead of using refined sugar, use natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or molasses. These sweeteners will give your sauce a richer flavor and won't raise your blood pressure as much as refined sugar.
- Use spices and herbs to add flavor: Chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder are all great additions to barbecue sauce. You can also add fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or rosemary for a more complex flavor.
- Cook the sauce slowly: Simmering the sauce for a long period of time will help the flavors to develop and deepen. You can also smoke the sauce for a more intense flavor.
- Let the sauce cool before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together and make the sauce thicker.
Conclusion:
Making your own low-sodium barbecue sauce is easy and rewarding. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and healthy sauce that you can enjoy on all your favorite foods. So next time you're craving barbecue, skip the store-bought sauce and make your own instead. Your taste buds will thank you!
