Sugar-Free Barbecue Sauce

Sugar-Free Barbecue Sauce

This recipe for barbecue sauce was handed down to me from my Mother-In-Law, Esther. She was a wonderful cook. She taught me how to cook like her. We spent many evening and weekend meals together and I gleaned as much as I could from her. She was the type of cook who never measured. She would pour the spices into the palm of her hand and then into the pot. So my sister-in-laws would make her stop and measure the spices after she poured them into her hand. Then they would write down the recipe!

I adapted Esther’s original recipe for Sugar-Free Barbecue Sauce by making a Sugar-Free Tomato Ketchup and Sugar-Free Worcestershire Sauce. I also exchanged the vegetable oil for olive oil and the margarine for grass-fed butter. This sauce is excellent on hamburgers and chicken.

I hope you enjoy it as much as my family did!

Ingredients for Sugar-Free Barbecue Sauce

• 1/4 cup grass-fed butter
• 2 Tablespoons Sugar-Free Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 Tablespoons dried parsley
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced

Instructions for Sugar-Free Barbecue Sauce

Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and melt the butter. You will need to use a wisk to combine all of the ingredients. It will separate as it sits, so give it a stir and it will be ready to use.

We used it on hamburgers. To barbecue, first brown one side of the meat, flip it over and brush it with barbecue sauce. When the other side is cooked flip the burger over again and brush the second side with barbecue sauce. Then flip once more and let the second side sit for a minute. They were delicious!
