Keto BBQ Sauce- Low Carb And Sugar Free

• 2 1/2 6-oz cans Tomato paste
• 1/2 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup Best Powdered Monk Fruit Erythritol Blend (to taste; or any sweetener of choice, preferably either powdered or liquid – use Best Monk Fruit Allulose Blend if you avoid sugar alcohols)
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp liquid hickory smoke
• 2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp Onion powder
• 1/2 tsp Sea salt
• 1/4 tsp Chili powder
• 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper (or more if you like it hot)
• 1 1/2 cup Water

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Whisk all ingredients together in a saucepan, adding the water last. Start with a cup of water, then whisk in a bit more at a time, until it reaches a consistency *slightly thinner* than barbecue sauce.
2. I ended up using about 1 1/2 cups of water, but it will vary depending on how thick your tomato paste is.
3. Bring to a gentle boil at medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low. Simmer, stirring frequently, for 20 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
4. Taste and adjust sweetener or cayenne pepper if you prefer the sauce to be sweeter or spicier. If it\’s still thicker than you like, you can stir in additional water, a tablespoon at a time, until reaching desired consistency.

RECIPE NOTES

The Worcestershire sauce linked in the ingredients list is gluten-free. Technically it contains a little sugar, but with 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce used for the entire recipe, each serving would contain only 1/20 tablespoon of it (like a drop).

This is factored into the nutrition info and net carbs below. If you prefer, you could even omit it or use a dash of molasses with a little water instead, but it would affect the flavor.
