Description

This Sugar-Free BBQ Sauce is a tangy, smoky, and delicious condiment that’s perfect for all your grilling needs. Made with wholesome ingredients and a touch of sweetness from monk fruit and allulose, it’s a healthier alternative to traditional BBQ sauces.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 1/2 (6-oz) cans tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend (or sweetener to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon liquid hickory smoke
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste)

  • 1 1/2 cups water (approximate, adjust as needed)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together all ingredients, adding the water last. Start with 1 cup of water and gradually add more until the sauce reaches a consistency slightly thinner than desired, as it will thicken during cooking.
  2. Simmer: Bring the sauce to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low. Simmer, stirring frequently, for 20 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  3. Adjust Flavor: Taste and adjust sweetener or cayenne pepper as needed. If the sauce is too thick, thin it with additional water, one tablespoon at a time.

Notes

  • This recipe uses Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend as a sugar-free sweetener. You can substitute with your preferred sweetener, adjusting the amount to taste.
  • If you don’t have liquid hickory smoke, you can substitute with smoked paprika or chipotle powder for a smoky flavor.
  • For a thicker sauce, reduce the amount of water or simmer for a longer time.
  • This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
