This recipe is a "Keeper". It is nice to see a recipe for BBQ sauce that does not have a Ketchup base with its high sugar content. I plan, today, to make this recipe in a large quantity and store it in my fridge for use this summer. For persons with diabetes, the only item which might be suspect is the Tomato Sauce. Although there may not be sugar added to this product, by its very nature, there is occurring sugars, simply because it is "tomatoes". It is impossible to eliminate sugars completely from a diabetic diet; it just requires stricter monitoring. Thank you for this one, I plan to add it to my Cook Book and include it in my personal "Diabetic Ready-Reference-Recipes" -
I made this yesterday to serve with roasted pork loin. It was a winner! My husband loved it. I did add 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with water and cooked an additional few minutes to thicken. -
I found the original recipe too vinegary, so I had to add a little bit of molasses, brown sugar and ketchup to make it taste better. I also added garlic, reduced it down a lot more and added corn starch to thicken it. It turned out well, and with a lot less sugar than a typical BBQ sauce. Would make a great marinade, too. -
While the goal is certainly to have a sauce that is both low in sugar and low in carbs, it should not be low in taste. I made this recipe following the directions exactly. It just has no flavor and I will not make it again.

I cooked this longer than indicated in the recipe so it would thicken up more. It's good, but I don't think barbecue sauce when I eat it.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
