Pineapple BBQ Sauce

Meal: 26 cal Protein: 0 g Carbs: 5 g Fat: 1 g

Who doesn’t love a great BBQ Sauce? Unfortunately, most packaged BBQ sauces are filled with sugar and calories. We’ve eliminated a lot of the calories by removing all the sugar. But to get that beautifully sweet flavor our palate expects, we’ve included fresh pineapple and a tiny amount of honey. The flavors have been built up even more with the North African spice, Harissa which is a combination of Coriander, Cumin, Smoked Paprika, Garlic, Chiles, and Mint. For richness and depth, we’ve included Black Strap Molasses.

Once the BBQ Sauce is made, we have three different easy meals that can be made with this magnificent sauce. We make large batches of this sauce, use some for these meals and then freeze the rest in one and two cup containers. Fresh, this sauce will last up to a week in the fridge and six months in the freezer.
