POUR-IT-ON BARBECUE SAUCE
Barbecue may be America’s greatest contribution to the global culinary repertoire. We figured out how to take rich, fatty, often tough cuts of meat and smoke them into submission until they’re melt-in-your-mouth tender. Then we slather them with sugar-laden, high-fat sauce. Here’s a sugar-free, zero-fat BBQ sauce that packs flavor without pulling punches. Makes 2 cups (16 servings)
1½ cups reduced-sugar ketchup, such as Heinz
½ cup Onion-Garlic Puree
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
¼ cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon molasses
2 packets (7 g) Truvia
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 tablespoons liquid smoke, such as Stubb’s
1. Combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick, about 30 minutes.
2. Allow the sauce to cool. Store it in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
