Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked salt (or regular salt if unavailable)
- 0.125 teaspoon Clove powder
- 2 tablespoons Filtered water
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the unsweetened applesauce, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and honey (if using). Stir until well blended.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, smoked salt, clove powder, and filtered water to the saucepan. Mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. This will also help the flavors meld together.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or a touch of honey for additional sweetness if desired.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the BBQ sauce to cool for a few minutes.
Once cooled, transfer the sauce to a jar or airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Use this AIP BBQ Sauce as a marinade, dipping sauce, or glaze for your favorite AIP-compliant proteins or vegetables. Enjoy!
