Notes

INGREDIENTS
I use Grove Avocado Oil for flavour. Any extra virgin olive oil can be used if preferred.
There is a link to my sugar free ketchup that is used in the recipe however any sugar free or reduced sugar shop-bought ketchup/tomato sauce can be used in this recipe.
The yellow mustard is the American-type you use on a hotdog not powdered mustard.
I use 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar in this recipe it does add a good amount of tanginess to the sauce and helps to cut the sweetness and fat when used on ribs etc. You can reduce the amount if preferred, but this sauce is perfectly balanced to me.
Sugar-free Worcerstershire is available in specialty stores. Honestly, it is there for more of a traditional flavour in barbecue sauce. I have used gluten-free tamari many times and love the sauce as is, so choose what you would prefer.
I use Sukrin Gold granular sweetener in this recipe. To me it is important to use a gold/brown sweetener to get a more caramel brown barbecue sauce flavour. Other brands that would suit are Natvia or SoNourished.
STORAGE
Store in the fridge for up to 10 days. Otherwise freeze in small portions and just defrost some as you need it.
