Low Carb Sugar-Free Bbq Sauce

AB0215

2 ½ 6-oz cans Tomato paste

½ cup Apple cider vinegar

⅓ cup Powdered erythritol (or any sweetener of choice, preferably either powdered or liquid)

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce *

1 tbsp Liquid hickory smoke

2 tsp Smoked paprika

1 tsp Garlic powder

½ tsp Onion powder

½ tsp Sea salt

¼ tsp Chili powder

¼ tsp Cayenne pepper (or more if you like it hot)

1 ½ cup Water (approximate amount - see instructions)

Whisk all ingredients together in a saucepan, adding the water last. Start with a cup of water, then whisk in a bit more at a time, until it reaches a consistency *slightly thinner* than barbecue sauce. I ended up using about 1 ½ cups of water, but it will vary depending on how thick your tomato paste is.

Bring to a gentle boil at medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently, for 20 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

Taste and adjust sweetener or cayenne pepper if you prefer the sauce to be sweeter or spicier. If it's still thicker than you like, you can stir in additional water, a tablespoon at a time, until reaching desired consistency.

The Worcestershire sauce linked in the ingredients list is gluten-free. Technically it contains a little sugar, but with 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce used for the entire recipe, each serving would contain only 1/20 tablespoon of it (like a drop). This is factored into the nutrition info and net carbs below. If you prefer, you could even omit it or use a dash of molasses with a little water instead, but it would affect the flavor.
