SWEET AND SMOKY BARBEQUE SAUCE



Sweet and Smoky Barbeque Sauce image

Use this toward the end of cooking as you would for any BBQ meat such as pork, ribs, or chicken. I have even used it on beef and hamburgers, sausages, hot dogs, or anything you want, for the most part. I use it on everything from ribs to roasts to hamburgers to hot dogs. Even goes good with a good old classic grilled cheese sandwich. This is a great all-round BBQ sauce. Use right away or cool to room temperature, transfer to jars or containers, and refrigerate. The sauce will keep for several months in the fridge.

SMOKEY BBQ SAUCE

I have developed this sauce over a few years. The flavors develope a richer more flavorful sauce over the next day or so in the fridge. I always have everything on hand and takes no time to make.

LOW CARB SMOKEY, SWEET AND HOT BARBECUE SAUCE



Low Carb Smokey, Sweet and Hot Barbecue Sauce image

After a trip to Kansas City where I was in barbecue heaven, I got inspired and purchased a smoker and decided to try to make my own low carb, no sugar added barbecue sauce. The regular store bought ones have a ton of sugar in them, and the low carb or sugar free ones taste really bad. After doing some research online, and remebering that my Grandpa used to use coca cola in his venison marinade, I created this tasty concoction in my ver own kitchen. A 12 0z can of diet soda sweetened with splenda and a 6 oz can of tomato paste is a perfect base for a low carb barbecue sauce-if you don't like the flavors in my sauce, use this base and create your own sauce according to your tastes.

Time 55m

Yield 3 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium onion, minced fine
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1/4 cup low-carb ketchup
1 (12 ounce) can diet cola, Splenda-sweetened preferred like Diet rite cola
3 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 tablespoon TABASCO® brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce (to taste)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon hickory liquid smoke
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pinches kosher salt, to taste
6 drops cholula hot sauce (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon Sweet'N Low brown sugar substitute
10 drops sweet and low liquid low-calorie sweetener
1/2 cup water, at the end to thin sauce a little

Steps:

  • heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in pan, Add the onion and cook over medium until soft - 3-5 minutes.
  • Add fresh garlic at this point and cook it for half a minute or so.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, stir to combine.
  • Heat over medium heat till sauce bubbles, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 45-60 minutes. Sauce will cook down a bit and flavors will combine.
  • Add about a half a cup of water at this point to thin the consistency a bit.
  • Note : If you can't find low carb catsup, leave it out, but add about 1 extra tablespoon of vinegar and some sweetener, to taste.
  • Adjust the seasonings so you have the balance you want - you can add vinegar, artificial sweetener, or hot sauce or liquid smoke. (If it's too hot, adding more sweetener will tone it down.).

Tips:

  • Use a variety of spices and seasonings to create a unique and flavorful barbecue sauce. Some popular options include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and cumin.
  • Simmer the sauce for a long period of time to allow the flavors to meld and develop. This will also help to thicken the sauce.
  • Add a bit of sweetness to the sauce with brown sugar, honey, or molasses. This will help to balance out the acidity of the vinegar.
  • Add a bit of smokiness to the sauce with liquid smoke or smoked paprika. This will give the sauce a rich and complex flavor.
  • Experiment with different types of vinegar to create a sauce with a unique flavor. Some popular options include apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, and red wine vinegar.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry or a roux. This will help to thicken the sauce without adding any additional flavor.
  • Taste the sauce frequently and adjust the seasonings as needed. You want the sauce to be flavorful but not too overpowering.
  • Let the sauce cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator. The sauce will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
