BBQ Sauce!

Today, as part of my prep for the week, I made some SCD friendly Barbecue Sauce. It's actually pretty easy, and probably less expensive than buying ready-made BBQ. I don't know that as a fact, since I don't want to bother with the math - but it's most likely true.

Here are the ingredients you'll need - you probably already have them on hand! Maybe not the liquid smoke, but that isn't required for this to be a successful and yummy meat-treat. (Scroll to the bottom of the post for the full recipe.)

Pull this stuff out of the cupboards.

Add the ingredients to a saucepan and admire the artistic quality of what you've done.

At this point, if you are super lazy, you could just eat it.  But, I personally want the flavors to meld.  And besides, it's too runny for my taste...

Too runny.

Here's one important tip I can share: Get yourself a pan screen.  It's basically just a mesh that sits over the pan.  Especially handy when cooking bacon, or tomato sauces that like to geyser when heated.

Get yourself a screen!

Slowly cook and reduce the sauce to your desired consistency.

And voila.  You have a delicious sauce for all of your dipping needs.

EAT ME!
