Date-Sweetened BBQ Sauce

April 25, 2014 by predominantlypaleo 5 Comments

 

BBQ sauce is as inherent to Texas as Tex-Mex is. And truth be told, BBQ sauce isn’t just a condiment, it is a pure reflection of the personality consuming it. There are sauces that can be based on honey, tomato, molasses, smoky, spicy, pepper, tangy, mustard, and on and on.  And with each sauce comes a personality to fit it. Don’t try to convince a mustardy sauce lover that a sweet sauce would better suit his brisket.  That right there is like a challenge to a gunfight in the old west. Bad news, people. Bad news.

So here’s the deal with this sauce. It is sort of set up to be customizable.  Is that even a word? This is designed as a good basic sauce, which I personally love as is. But, if you prefer it sweeter, add a little more honey. Prefer that mustard kick? Toss a lil more mustard in there. Love the smoky flare? Go for it. I think you will find that you can add YOUR personality to this sauce to make it just right. And the best news of all? No corn syrup, no gluten, no nasties at all. Date sweetened and full of the goodstuffs. Now go get your grub on! My brisket awaits!!!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup organic tomato sauce
  • 4 dates, pitted
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic sea salt blend, ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon local raw honey (omit for vegan)
  1. Start by combining all ingredients in a blender, Vitamix, or Nutribullet
  2. Blend then pulse until consistency is smooth
  3. Heat in saucepan until warm and serve right away

    This sounds yummy! I have yet to find a worcestershire sauce that is free of corn or soy or gluten. Seems like the ones I find have one or two of those ingredients that I can’t have. If you have a brand, please share 🙂

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
