3 Ingredient BBQ Saucs -- This is the simpliest bar-be-que sauce recipe out there. Ketchup + Honey + Worcestershire Sauce.

My husband is completely obsessed with finding sauces and dressing without high fructose corn syrup. Do you even know how difficult this endeavor is? I spend way too much time reading through ingredient labels and typically I find one brand or variety without the HFCS and it’s exactly $10 more than all the other options.

If you’re looking to decrease the amount of high fructose corn syrup or just want food without 192 ingredients, you definitely need to try out this incredibly simple 3-Ingredient BBQ Sauce. You probably have all the ingredients in your pantry right now!

    Too much sugar and too much sodium. Might as well buy processed bbq sauce and skip the trouble of making it. Nothing to accomplish for ones health with this one.

    Fred Meyer’s Simple Truth Ketchup has no HFCS :

    …Organic tomato concentrate (water, organic tomato paste), organic sugar, organic vinegar, salt, organic onion powder, organic spices…

    Sir Kensington’s doesn’t either. I’ve been wanting to try it but it is a bit more expensive.

    Thanks for the recipe. I will have to try it. 🙂
