Almost Sugar Free BBQ Sauce

This is my lactose-free, sugar-free recipe. Some natural sugars remain. It is migraine safe. Please know your triggers before creating any of the recipes I share. If you are not on a restricted diet please see the substitutions listed and add 1/2 cup minced white onion.

What You Need
2 Tbsp. Lactose free butter (or you can use “real” butter)
4 Garlic cloves (minced)
3 tsp. Brown sugar substitute (I use Splenda)
2 Tbsp. Sugar free apple sauce ( I use Motts no sugar added)
2 tsp. Crushed red pepper
1 1/2 tsp. Mustard powder
1 tsp. my everything seasoning
2-3 tsp Chili powder (hubby says Chipotle is best)
1 6 oz. Tomato paste (I use Hunts no salt added)
Tbsp. Chili powder (your choice)
1 1/2 tsp. Mustard powder
1 Cup chicken stock
3/4 Cup water
1 -2 Tbsp. Distilled white vinegar (you can use apple cider vinegar too)
1 Qt. Saucepan with lid

Lets Make It! In a saucepan over medium heat, sauté garlic in butter until opaque (softened). Add all remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and stir occasionally. Cook for about 20 minutes (if it is not thick enough you can increase heat and add more tomato paste.
Makes enough sauce to barbecue a whole chicken (separated). If you have any leftover put it on the table for dipping or cover and keep in the fridge ( up to 5 days)
