Sweet and Sassy Southern Barbecue Sauce

Sweet and Sassy Southern Barbecue Sauce Recipe

This recipe was created for my husband after he survived an Aortic Dissection. (YEA) I needed to learn how to cook all over again. I needed to create flavor without any salt or salt substitutes. I won't give out all my secrets but I will tell you that if you are looking for a true southern style or Carolina BBQ recipe, this is the one. Feel free to add salt but believe me it is not needed. It is also made with mostly all natural ingredients. My neighbors have me bottling it. I even created a label. I hope you enjoy!
