My favorite home made barbeque sauce recipe has a ketchup base and a lot of brown sugar. Ketchup has so much sugar in it that the sauce is really high in points. I thought I'd experiment with making some sugar free sauce today and this is what I came up with.
A 15 ounce can of tomato sauce is the base in my recipe. It turned out pretty good and, in my opinion, has a much better flavor than the sugar free G. Hughes barbeque sauce. The G. Hughes sauce is over $3.50 a bottle here so the tomato sauce recipe is definitely less expensive.
Heinz reduced sugar ketchup is another alternative to using the tomato sauce. I bought a bottle of it and will try making a batch later using it and adjusting the Truvia. The ketchup is really expensive compared to regular ketchup so I'll figure the cost into the process.
