Homemade Barbeque Sauce

I hope everyone had a great Independence Day!

Who doesn’t like good ole’ Barbeque? That pork and chicken, smothered in BBQ sauce, mmm.

What would you guess what that delicious, tasty barbeque sauce is made of? TONS of sugar, mainly in the forms of either molasses or white sugar. What’s wrong with that? Well in small amounts, nothing is truly wrong with sugar or molasses unless your following a strict no sugar diet. But see, typical barbeque sauce doesn’t contain tiny amounts of sugar. It contains a whole lot of the stuff. Usually being one of the first ingredients listed which means it’s one of the main ingredients!

A serving size on a barbeque sauce bottle is typically one tablespoon. I am almost certain that no one enjoys a good barbeque dinner with only one tablespoon of sauce. Without mentioning exact numbers or amounts consumed, let’s just take it for granted that a typical BBQ meal is not the healthiest. Tons of sugar and calories, and not good ones.

So why am I saying all of this?

Because I love a good old barbeque dinner, and I wasn’t willing to give it up. But I was willing to find a better onhealthy zoviraxsolution. And that is when I went to work. The sauce ended up being delicious, still having that barbeque sauce taste, yet not near as much sugar or calories. Now I call that a win.
