This recipe from Dana Carpenter, 500 Low-Carb Recipes allows me to enjoy BBQ while staying true to a lo-carb diet. It thickens up nicely, has great flavor and stores well in the refrigerator. Dana Carpender says 2 Tbsp serving has 3 gr carbs, 1 gr fiber for 2 grs usable carbs. Ingredients:
1 garlic clove, crushed |
1 small onion, finely minced |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup oil |
4 tablespoons splenda sugar substitute |

1 1/2 cups water |
1/4 cup cider vinegar |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
