Getting Saucy this Weekend-Memorial Day Recipe
Many of you will be breaking out the grill just in time for the long holiday weekend! Here is a clean-eating BBQ sauce recipe for your burgers, ribs, steak, or chicken!
Homemade BBQ Sauce-(conventional BBQ sauce has added preservatives, refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup, MSG, artificial colorings, and sodium)
Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup xylitol syrup – see below
• 8oz organic tomato sauce or tomato paste
• 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (Braggs)
• 1 tablespoon liquid aminos or tamari
• 1½ tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1-1½ teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
Make the xylitol syrup first (below). Measure out about 1/2
cup and save the remainder for another use. Mix the rest of the
ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Add 1/8 – 1/4 cup of
filtered water to get the sauce to the desired consistency. Use over
chicken, as a steak sauce, on bbq chicken pizza (grain-free
crust), etc.
Xylitol Syrup
• 1 cup xylitol
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
Combine xylitol and water in a stainless steel sauce pot. Bring
mixture to a boil. Whisk in xanthan gum and return to a boil. Stir
until thickened and remove from heat and cool.
