Equipment
- Medium saucepan
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Airtight jar or bottle (for storage)
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 cups sugar-free ketchup keto-friendly
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free syrup e.g., allulose or monk fruit-based
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dark chili powder such as ancho
- 1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener golden, with erythritol blend
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into small cubes
Instructions
Mix the base
- Pour the sugar-free ketchup, apple cider vinegar, syrup, Worcestershire sauce, and monk fruit sweetener into a medium saucepan.
Add the flavor
- Stir in the garlic powder, smoked paprika, mustard powder, cumin, onion powder, and dark chili powder. Add the butter, cut into small cubes.
Heat it up
- Set the pan over medium heat. Keep stirring as the butter melts and everything starts to come together. Make sure it doesn’t come to a full boil just a gentle simmer.
Let it cook
- Let the sauce simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir every now and then. You’re looking for it to thicken slightly and smell rich and flavourful.
Cool and store
- Take it off the heat and let it cool down. Once cooled, pour it into a clean jar or bottle. Store it in the fridge. It’ll thicken a bit more as it chills.
