How to Make Bobbie Q Sauce Barbecue Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup xylitol (birch sugar), 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/4 cup water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  3. For basting, brush generously onto your favorite BBQ meats during the last 20-30 minutes of cooking. For a flavorful meat dish, add 1 cup of Bobbie Q Sauce to 2 pounds of cooked, chopped or shredded meat. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until heated through and the meat is well coated.
  4. To prepare for freezer storage: Omit the 1/4 cup of water from the initial recipe. This will prevent freezing solid. Once cooled, store in freezer-safe containers. Scoop out the desired amount as needed.
  5. Make a big batch! This sauce is incredibly versatile and can be made in large quantities for easy weeknight meals.
