Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 18

12 oz tomato paste
1 c heinz catsup
1 1/3 c red wine vinegar
1 can(s) diet dr. pepper, 12 oz size
1 stick butter, 4 oz.
1/4 c fresh grated horseradish
1/2 c worcestershire sauce
1/2 c liquid smoke flavoring
1 1/2 tsp smoked alderwood sea salt
3/4 c zero calorie sweetener
1 Tbsp granulated garlic
6 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp granulated onion
1/2 c minced dried onion flakes
1/8 tsp dried red pepper flakes
2 tsp coarse black pepper
3 Tbsp chopped chive
1/2 tsp mexican hot sauce (salsa picante) or more as desired

Steps:

1. There is no special order in which to add the ingredients for this sauce. These are some of the spices that I used.
2. I used Lea & Perrin Worcestershire Sauce, but you can use other brands as well.
3. Add the butter, tomato paste, sweetener, horseradish, liquid smoke, then whisk to blend flavors together.
4. Add in the chive, and continue to stir.
5. Add in the Smoked Alderwood Sea salt & minced dried onions. Whisk briskly to blend together.
6. Don't forget to add the minced cloves of garlic, that adds a punch of flavor.
7. Then place over low heat and cook slowly to allow the flavors to blend together. STIR CONTINUOUSLY TO PREVENT SAUCE FROM STICKING. For additional smoked flavor, you might want to add the sauce over your charcoal grill, and allow it to get a more even smoked flavor. Brush over beef, pork, poultry, meat loaf, ham or what ever you choose, it is delicious.
8. I forgot to give you the nutritional value of this sauce, I used MY FITNESS PAL to calculate the nutritional value Calories per Tablespoon is 11g, Fat 1 g, Cholesterol 2 Mg, Sodium 44mg, Potassium 30mg, Total carbs1g, Fiber 0g, Sugar 0g, Protein 0g. So the net carbs per tablespoon is 0. STORE UNUSED PORTION IN REFRIGERATOR UNTIL NEEDED, WILL LAST AT LEAST 2-3 WEEKS.
