Barbecue Sauce (Sugar Free!)

One of the things I love most in this world (well, besides my husband and kids) is barbecue!  Last year when my husband and I were doing our cleanse one of the things we craved was barbecue so I had to come up with a sugar free barbecue sauce.  Well, I think I did a pretty darn good job and I hope you do too!

2 8 oz. cans tomato sauce (no salt added)

2 T. spicy mustard

4 T. pineapple juice

1 1/2 t. chili powder

1 1/2 t. smoked paprika

1 t. garlic powder

2 t. onion powder

2 t. cumin

1 t. Bragg's liquid amino acids (or soy sauce)

1/2 t. salt (or more to taste)

2 T. apple cider vinegar

1 T. white vinegar

1 T. tomato paste

1/2 t. black pepper

1/2 t. crushed red pepper

2 T. applesauce (unsweetened)

Mix all ingredients together in a saucepan and simmer over low heat for 30-45 minutes.  Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

This can easily be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
