Sugar Free BBQ Sauce

I am a huge fan of barbecue sauce, but I’ll admit I haven’t had much of it lately. I avoid bottled sauces since they generally have a lot of processed food ingredients like high fructose corn syrup. And most homemade barbecue sauce recipes start with ketchup, have a lot of added sugar, or have to cook for hours.

I wanted to come up with one that was quick and easy, with just a few real food ingredients (bonus, they are all simple ingredients I keep in my pantry!). My paleo peach barbecue sauce recipe has no ketchup and no added sugar or sweeteners. And you can cook it in about 10 minutes!

How to make homemade BBQ Sauce

Barbecue sauce has to have some sweetness, a tangy kick, a little smokiness and a little heat. This sauce gets its sweetness from peaches. I used frozen peaches because that’s all I had. But I think it would be even better with fresh peaches.

The sauce’s tanginess comes from apple cider vinegar. I used bacon fat (from sugar-free bacon) to cook the shallots, so that adds a little smokiness and rich flavor. And the chipotle pepper flakes add a little smoky heat. With just a quick saute, a little simmering and blending it all together, you’ve got a delicious barbecue sauce.

This sugar-free barbecue sauce is amazing on pulled pork (I’ve got a great trick for making pulled pork in the slow cooker). And I love it on burgers, ribs, or grilled chicken. But I’ve got some turkey thighs in the fridge that are calling out for this yummy paleo peach barbecue sauce. So that’s what’s for dinner tonight.

    This looks delicious! How necessary is the coconut aminos to this dish? Can I substitute with coconut oil? I’m a paleo newbie and still in the gathering stage of new ingredients.

      Hi Sage, the coconut aminos are a paleo substitute for soy sauce. The flavor is a little sweeter than soy sauce, and it adds depth of flavor and saltiness.
