”I read once that love is friendship on fire. That's how I feel about you.”

Description:
Since I can no longer have sugar or high fructose corn syrup, which btw, you should AVOID as often as possible, I had to come up with a bbq sauce that didn't have either of these ingredients. Most of the recipes I tried were bland and I like things kind of spicy so I came up with a sauce that is sweet and smokey and has a bit of a kick to it as well.

Ingredients:
3 oz. tomato paste
1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 tablespoon of hot sauce (Franks Red Hot is awesome)
1 tablespoon of minced onion
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 tablespoon of chili powder
1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
1 teaspoon of chopped parsley (or 1/2 teaspoon of parsley flakes)
Cayenne pepper to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Liquid Smoke to taste
Stevia to taste (this is a natural sugar substitute, you can use sugar if you don't have Stevia but you can get it at any health food store in liquid form)
Water as need to get the consistency you want

Directions:
In a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients. Mix well (with a wire whisk) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, adding water to get the consistency (it thickens as it cooks) and to keep it from burning. Stir continuously. Chill and serve.
