Ezekiel Diet Note: Watching the world literally going to hell is always better with some delicious, juicy BBQ chicken on the grill slathered with lots of organic tasty BBQ sauce. And a big ole glass of ice tea. Or, tay as they pronounce it in the south.

For about a month now I’ve been making my own BBQ sauce using only organic ingredients. That’s 36 ounces pictured above (24 oz in 1; 12 oz in 2), I just made for about $6.00. Or, the equivalent to 3 store-bought 12 ounce bottles of BBQ sauce. It cost me .16 cents an ounce. It takes approximately 30 minutes to make the sauce whisking and stirring to keep it from bubbling out of the pan like lava. Let it cool and pour in a mason jar; dip it out with a tablespoon.

Every BBQ sauce I’ve purchased over the last 15 years had 1 or more egregious ingredients I don’t like to consume. Almost all used sugar or cane sugar, brown sugar, extra sodium, etc. No sugar added normally means sucralose or maltitol (volcano stomach gas) or both. I’ve put up with this for 15 years. I’ve also used store bought sauces very sparingly as a 12 ounce bottle can be used up in just 3 or 4 servings. What I like about making my own clean, healthy, organic sauce is I use all I want.

I can make my own BBQ sauce using only healthy, organic ingredients for just $2 for a standard 12 ounce bottle you would pay $7+ for in grocery stores. I eliminate all the problems associated with the crappy ingredients listed in the first paragraph. I also eliminate using it sparingly.

But the bigger reason is the cost of sauces at the grocery stores is approaching $7 to $10 a bottle. I considered the weight and cost of that bottle plus shipping and handling, plus profit for the wholesaler and retailer was probably more than half the cost. I now think it’s more like 75% of the cost.

It cost me $2 a bottle to make BBQ sauce using all organic ingredients. I can only assume the store bought sauce before the bottle cost has to be less than a dollar.

Start making your own with much better ingredients for about a third of the grocery retail price.

I’ve determined that most organic seasoning (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika) listed below cost about $7 a bottle and contains 30 teaspoons (I actually measured it). That’s about a quarter (.23 exactly) a teaspoon and there’s about $1.50 in organic seasonings listed below in this recipe. A Costco 12 packs of 6 oz Organic Tomato Paste is $1.18 a can.

I used 3 – 6 oz cans of tomato paste instead of 2 1/2 cans. What am I supposed to do with a half can of tomato paste? I actually had to use 3 cups of distilled water instead of 1 1/2 to get the right consistency. This is because the Costco organic tomato paste is very thick. I also used about 50% more Monk Fruit sweetener and I’m pouring a good tablespoon of Molasses in the mix adding even more minerals.

After I made a couple batches of BBQ sauce I started reading store-bought BBQ sauce labels and discovered most don’t use tomato paste. They use thin tomato sauce or a base of cheap ketchup and then use xantham gum to thicken it back up like tomato paste. And all those “sweet” BBQ sauces that are thick and dark brown; that’s xantham gum thickener and food coloring.

I’ve been experimenting with adding 3 or 4 big tablespoons of my organic BBQ sauce in a bowl of the Peel A Pound Cabbage Soup which really enhances the flavor. Makes it taste like Brunswick Stew.

I’ve made 3 batches so far and every one was slightly different, which I like. I can use this as the base and experiment with different tastes. Also, the sauce gets better the next day and after.
