Health benefits of Jeff's No and Lo BBQ Sauce (No High-Fructose Sugar, Low Sodium)

Apple cider vinegar will improve your body's sensitivity to insulin (Reference: http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/27/1/281.full) Agave, a sweetener derived from the core of the agave plant, is frequently highlighted in nutritional discussions due to its notably low glycemic index (GI) rating. With a GI score of just 17, it stands out from many other natural sweeteners and sugars that often have higher GI values. For those unfamiliar with the term, the glycemic index is a measure that ranks foods based on how significantly they raise blood glucose (sugar) levels after consumption. Foods with a lower GI value are absorbed more slowly and cause a more gradual rise in blood sugar levels, which is particularly crucial for individuals managing conditions like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).

Ingredients

1/3 cup reduced sodium Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons amber agave syrup
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon dark chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
2 teaspoons Mexican-style hot sauce
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
One 28-ounce can no-salt-added whole plum tomatoes (pureed)

Instructions

Combine the Worcestershire, vinegar, agave, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, garlic salt, liquid smoke, hot sauce, mustard, black pepper, garlic powder, cayenne and tomatoes in a medium sauce pot and bring to boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until desired thickness is reached, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
