This sauce is wonderful.  It is sweet and zingy and has a bit of a kick.  I want no other BBQ sauce in my house now!  I thought it took some one off ingredients but I am going to make this again and again so it is definitely worth the cost to me.  It did not take as long to make as I thought.  I suppose you could use regular ketchup but then the nutritional values would increase.  I bought the Mesquite Liquid Smoke and the Xanthan gum thru Amazon.  I found the Heinz reduced sugar ketchup at my local HyVee.  I used the Slenda sugar blend as my sweetner (pictured below).  My husband and mother gave this a high thumbs up also!  This is definitely a keeper for my recipe box.  This recipe was from the web site "Up Late Anyway."
