Does anyone have a BBQ sauce recipe made with splenda? I had one
bookmarked in my Favorites, but managed to lose it somehow. I tried the
Carb-Well from Kraft and wasn't to impressed. I'm looking for one thats
more of a sweet BBQ rather than a smokey one.

I feel so sorry for the rest of the country. Here, in south Texas, there is
a lot of good barbecue. Good steaks and barbecue needs no sauce.

Just a good hot mesquite fire eh? ;-d

A decent marinade IMHO enhances the smoked flavor!
Marinade is superior to any sauce made.

I've seriously considered offering mesquite chips on ebay......

Hey Jim,
Low carb BBQ sauce? I can get a good steak and *high Carb* BBQ sauce if
I want it, heck you can that anywhere not just Texas.

His point was that GOOD BBQ needs NO sauce! That would be the ultimate
in low carbing... The flavor of the wood smoke and probably a sprinkling
of appropriate spices makes BBQ "sauce" (low carb or otherwise) not
necessary.

Mesquite smoke is indeed a unique flavor and I'd not garbage it up with
some sloppy sweet sauce.

Mequite grows wild all over the place here. It's not that easy to find
it up north.

Well then, just experiment like most cooks do until you come up with
something you like!

Start with a low carb catsup (ketchup) or just a basic tomato sauce, or
even V8 juice. Add a little vinegar or lemon juice.

Add splenda until it's sweet enough for you, then add spices and
flavorings slowly.

Onion powder
Garlic powder
Salt
Pepper
Lemon pepper
Various dried and powdered chilis
Cumin (Comino)
Your choice of dried herbs

Get the idea? :-)

Hope this helps!

Personally, I still prefer marinades to "sweeten" meat.
The soaking process works better than coating IMHO.

Yes I could do that, but was hoping someone already had a recipe. I
probably could find the original one I had if I spent enough time
searching the internet too. Thx again

If it's a good steak, you don't need the durn "high carb" BBQ sauce.

And we do know how to cook a steak and barbecue.

I have found that, when you do find a sauce that you like, adding some
Creole seasoning to in really spices it up in a good way. I do that
sometimes. But usually not.

Exactly. I would be terribly insulted if anyone wanted to put a sauce
on meat I spent 14 hours smoking.

And I bet you thought all I do is throw girly parties....

Sure he can. I have no doubt that plenty of folks will buy them.

Have you seen some of the stuff people buy and sell on ebay?

I didn't want the BBQ sauce for steak. I wanted it for some ribs.
