I just got a Rival Crock Pot BBQ grill -- *much* more like a BBQ pit than a
crock pot. I've tried it twice and made *very* tender roast and ribs.

Can anyone recommend an *easy* sauce for ribs? My three criteria a (1)
easy to prepare; (2) very low in sugar and carbs because I have diabetes, as
do others on this group; and (3) very little use of hot spices or pepper
because I have an intolerance, and my body can't handle much of that -- but
I could also easily reduce or eliminate that part of an otherwise-good
recipe.

Thanks,
MaryL

Recipe By: Pete Romfh
Serving Size: 20
Cuisine: American
Main Ingredient: Tomatoes
Categories: Low Sugar, Diabetic, Atkins-Friendly, Superbowl, Picnics, Slow
cook, Simple - Easy, Sauces, Condiments

-= Ingredients =-
12 ounces Tomato paste ; 2-6oz. Cans
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup Water
1/2 cup Yellow onion ; -Rough chopped
1/2 cup Bell pepper ; - green
2 tbs Tabasco sauce
2 tbs White vinegar
2 tbs garlic powder
1/2 cup hot sauce ; - Franks or Texas Petes
1/2 cup Splenda
1/2 cup Sugar Twin Brown Sugar

-= Instructions =-
Place tomato sauce in large measuring cup and bring volume up to 3 cups with
water. Then transfer to large saucepan or pot.

In blender, process Onion, green pepper, worcestershire, and water. Then add
that to the thinned tomato paste. While mixture is warming on the stove add
in Tabasco, Vinegar, garlic powder, and 3/4 of the hot sauce. Reserve a bit
of the hot sauce to touch up the spiciness later. If you're a wimp about hot
stuff try reserving 1/2 the hot sauce.

add and stir in well,
1/2 cup Splenda
1/2 cup Sugar Twin Brown Sugar

Test the flavor and add hot sauce until it's as "hot" as you like.

let it simmer just a bit more to meld the flavors then serve (or bottle) the
sauce.

Thanks. This could be a good start, although I would have to eliminate
ingredients like hot sauce and tabasco sauce. I am concerned about the
number of carbs, so I hope there is an alternative with less than that.

How long will this remain good if refrigerated?

Thanks,
MaryL

It should keep for several weeks in the refrigerator.

Splenda Brown Sugar is 50% sugar. Try using all regular Splenda and adding a
couple of teaspoons of dark molassas. That should do the same thing
flavor-wise.

Spicy BBQ Sauce (low carb)

1 clove garlic, crushed
1 small onion, minced fine
1/4 cup butter or oil
3 - 4 Tbsp. Splenda
2 tsps. dark molasses
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Colmans dry mustard
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp. horseradish
1 Tbsp. liquid smoke (or substitute a good smoky bacon chopped, cooked and
crumbled)
6 ounce can tomato paste

In a saucepan, cook the onion and garlic in the butter or oil for a few
minutes. Stir in all the dry ingredients, then stir in everything else but
the tomato paste and the liquid smoke. Let it simmer for about 15 - 20
minutes. Then whisk in the tomato paste and liquid smoke and let it simmer
another 5 - 10 minutes. Store in a jar in the refrigerator.

This makes about 2 2/3 cups of sauce, or about 21 one ounce (2 Tbsp.)
servings, at about 2.5 grams of usable carb grams per serving.

All three of these sound excellent. I'll have to give each one a try.

Sounds good! I can eat all of these ingredients except ginger (allergic),
so I'm going to try it but without that one item. Low carb and easy to
prepare -- plus no hot spices. Just what I wanted. Thanks!!

MaryL

My wife makes one I really like for pork ribs, but I can't remember which
one it is. I thinks its the spicy one.

I have found a store bought brand that is low in carbs and sugar. 2 tbsp
serving is 15 calories. 5g carbs and 4g sugars. 210 sodium. The brand is
Stubbs Original, distributed by: Stubb's Legendary Kitchen, Inc. PO Box
40220, Austin, tX 78704. phone 512-480-0203. Website is www.ilovestubbs.com

Despite it being from Texas it is not spicy-hot at all.

DH is a T2 and we'd been using the Low Carb stuff from Lowery's but we
can't get it locally any more and it wasn't that tastey. DH liked the
Stubbs.

Onions are good, sauteed onions are better, caramelized onions are superb, but if you don't want to fuss, onion powder will do the trick.

If you're going with the splenda and molasses workaround for faux brown sugar, make sure you use blackstrap molasses for the most flavor with the least carbs. About 1/2 t. combined with a cup of splenda will make a cup of pretty darn good brown sugar. What splenda and bs molasses won't give you, though, is the sticky/gooey consistency associated with bbq sauce.

Are you sensitive to sugar alcohols? Those will give you a great sugary texture. Maltitol honey would be ideal for this type of application.

Heinz 1 carb
onion powder
dash of mustard
glob of honey
blackstrap molasses
little bit of splenda
vinegar

Thanks. I live in Texas, but I'm not familiar with that product. I'll try

I have never tried sugar alcohols. I'm really trying to avoid any of the
"sweet stuff" because I have done exceptionally well. I used to have a real
sweet tooth, but with my change of diet (since T2 diagnosis), I no longer
have those cravings. I don't want to eat things that might reactivate those
sensations. In addition, there are a number of foods that have given me
intestinal problems in the past. My current rather "bland" form of eating
has eliminated all that.

I can second that recommendation for Stubbs BBQ Sauce. I have been using it
for a couple of years. I lost the taste for sweet tasting sauces, and found
Stubbs. I still only like to give ribs a light coating and let others dip
or use a sauce to their taste as they eat. You can buy their products from
their website, but if you don't like a lot of spice, stay away from the
spicy sauce, and stick with the original. The marinades are very tasty too.

I'm in luck, then. We have two Kroger's in town (referenced by Pete Romfh)
and also an HEB!

Thanks.
