How to Make Granny's Special Bbq Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the Jack Daniel's, low-carb ketchup, Splenda brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Use some of the sauce as a mop while cooking your meat, and store the remaining sauce in the refrigerator. It'll get even better the next day!
  5. Serve generously over your favorite BBQ meats!
