Low Sodium Barbecue Sauce

Submitted by Edie Pennington

"Having to live the "low sodium" lifestyle can be boring and flavorless until you discover zingy items like this barbecue sauce. I found this on a low sodium recipe site and I've made it even lower in sodium by changing a few of the ingredients."

This is a good recipe, however if you are taking certain medications , beware. The no-salt ketchup has potassium chloride in it, which should not be mixed with certain heart medications.

I will say with some minor tweaks, really good! I used honey instead of molasses (didn't have molasses). That was good, but cut back slightly on the volume. I added a little cayenne pepper and some red pepper flakes to give it a kick...Tastes sweet at first, but the bite comes after a few seconds...great recipe!

I made this tonight. My DH is on a low sodium diet and has been wanting barbecue pork. He loved this. I followed recipe except left out the liquid smoke.
