There will be little garlic and onion bits |
Silas cannot have a number of foods that you and I eat everyday. No wheat, no corn, nothing with corn syrup, or corn starch, no fermented cheeses, and a number of other things. I asked Christal if Silas had any BBQ sauces that he ate and she said that all of the sauces had high fructose corn syrup in them so no he did not eat BBQ sauce when he eats his specially coated chicken strips (fried at home or grandpas house). So I set out to make him a BBQ sauce that he could eat and here is what I came up with.
Silas's BBQ Sauce
2 Tbsp Butter
1/8 of a large Onion minced (or about an 1/8 cup)
2 tsp Prepared Garlic
(saute' onions and garlic in the butter and soften well to avoid a lumpy sauce).
1 cup Organic Catsup (no corn syrup)
2 Tbsp White Sugar
1/2 cup Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp Cider Vinegar
1/2 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Dry Mustard
2 Tbsp Molasses
1 Tbsp Olive Brine
(the juice from a jar of green olives, or canned black olives)
Salt and pepper to taste
(I used the molasses, paprika, and brine as a means of "deepening" the flavor, instead of something like worchestershire sauce which has both corn and wheat).
Simmer for about 20 mins over low heat, stirring often
(test the flavor you may like the flavor of extra molasses, a little hot sauce for a kick, or horseradish)
It looks good! I can't wait to try it.
