Low carb BBQ sauce

idahomikeidahomikeMember
My Daughter and Son-in-law are on a low carb diet. They said they really miss BBQ sauce, so I started doing some research. I settled on using the dry CS Spicy BBQ mix. I sautéed an onion and half a bell pepper that were both diced fine. Hunts makes a low carb Ketchup. I used Splenda brown sugar substitute (this is a Splenda and brown sugar combination and you use half as much of it to replace the brown sugar). I also used half the amount of molasses by replacing it with Black Strap Molasses. The Sauce turned out very nice. I did some figuring and this sauce should have had just a little less than 3 grams of carbs per 2 table spoon serving size. Sweet Baby Rays Original is 14 grams per 2 table spoons. It got 2 thumbs up from my Daughter and Son-in-law. Works for me.

Vicki:

I used the bell pepper because my Daughter does not like “Hot stuff”. Took me years to get her to eat anything with black pepper on it. I have to be careful when I am cooking anything she will be eating. I modify my rubs and sauces to accommodate her taste. This means that I cut back on the amount of hot sauce, cayenne, and red pepper flakes I use. I thought about using a jalapeno or 2 in this sauce, but settled for the bell pepper. The sauce turned out to have a good taste. Not overly sweet, slight bite, a little taste of vinegar, and a little smoky.

Padre: There is still a little sugar in this sauce. I didn't use it on the Beef Back Ribs I did while they were in the smoker. I served it on the side. I don't know if the little bit of sugar would burn or not. The sauce was good on the ribs and didn't over power the taste of the smoked ribs.
