I have recently been put on a very low salt and NO sugar diet by my
doctor. For the most part I can handle it but the one thing I really
miss is my BBQ sauce and Sunday BBQ with the family. I have always made
my own sauce but it always had salt and lots of brown sugar in it.
I've tried a couple of concoctions but without much sucess so figured
I'd ask here. Does anyone know of any decent BBQ sauce thqat can be
made without sugar, very little if any salt and prefereably no black
pepper?

Thanks ahead, Phil

Have you tried Splenda? Eliminating salt for me has not been a big deal but
if you like sugar, that will be a tougher challenge, IMO. Splenda is bland
on flavor, but does add sweetness. Perhaps you can find a molasses flavor
to give it the brown sugar flavor you like. I read someplace that chicory
can give a molasses flavor. Maybe some other flavor will come close. There
are a bunch at http://www.davincigourmet.com/page.php?page=760

Good luck and good health

This looked like a fun one. Decent mix of flavors, without ketchup or
tomato. Of course, you can take out the scant 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Replacing it with celery seed comes to mind.

Definitely has a different taste, that I didn't like. I just learned to cut
WAY down on my NaCl. I put the barest sprinkle of Kosher salt on my food
when served, rather than cooking it in (except when I'm grilling a steak).

I hate to admit it but Mrs. Dash makes a killer chipolte marinade. They
may have a BBQ marinade also. Some how it ended up in my fridge and used
it for chicken one night... unbelievably good for such a salt/sugar free
product.

Known kidney killers... drink plenty of water if you are using potassium.

Try this, using Splenda for the sugar.
