If you’re looking for a great versatile BBQ sauce that’s perfect for helping you enjoy the last grilling weekends of summer and fall, this is it!  The addition of the cloves and cinnamon are what really make this BBQ sauce special so don’t skip those two spices.  We use it on pulled pork, ribs, and wings.  Be sure to make plenty for a dipping sauce for the table.  Our non low carb family members and friends always ask for the recipe and that’s high praise!

8 ounces tomato sauce (no sugar added)

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon prepared mustard

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1/8 tsp ground cloves

1/8 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp ground mustard

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

½ tsp salt

Sweetener to taste

1 tablespoon bacon fat

¼ tsp liquid smoke (if you like)

¼ tsp cayenne (if you like)

Melt bacon fat in a small saucepan, add tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce and heat to a low simmer.  Simmer for 4-5 minutes before adding the remaining ingredients.

This sauce keeps well in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks.
