Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups low sodium ketchup
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon hickory liquid smoke
- 2 1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon corn starch dissolved in 1/8 cup cold water (optional)
Directions
1.Whisk together all ingredients (except the corn starch in water) in a medium pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until sugar has dissolved. For a thicker sauce, add the corn starch and water mixture. Then simmer for up to 15 minutes, until desired thickness is reached. Keep in mind that it may thicken slightly more while cooling. Serve immediately or cover and store in the refrigerator.
2.Once cooled, you may portion and freeze the sauce. Then thaw in the fridge and use as needed.
(I just left out the salt in this recipe, and used loso ketchup))
Fabulessly Frugal website – adapted for low sodium
Would love to know the nutrition info on this recipe. It has awesome flavor!!
I rarely use bbq sauce as I’ve never found any in the past I have liked. Invited to daughter’s house for bbq ribs and I knew I would have to make a low sodium sauce. I made this recipe and must say it was without a doubt the best bbq sauce I have ever had! I will definitely find other meals to use it. Definitely 5 stars! Thanks!
