4, 4, and 4.

  • I suggest you ready the next four instructions before cooking.  You need to stir continuously and for low stress it’s better to know what’s going to happen.  If you didn’t already drink some wine… now may be a good time.
  • Once the it no longer smells like flour.  (Turns golden) (~ 4 mins) slowly add the sauce.  (Pour slowly while continuously stirring.)
  • Don’t worry if it get a little chunky as you slowly add the sauce!  This is normal. Keep adding the sauce.  Keep stirring… Continuous stirring!
  • Once it starts to thicken. (~4 mins) reduce to low and keep stirring.
  • Reduce heat to low and keep stirring (~4 mins)
  • Remove from the heat and let stand until cooled/used.

  1. I was told not to use butter for a low FODMAP diet. Also I do believe wine is not in the diet. Please tell me if I’m wrong.

    1. Hey Sheila,

      I think you have been given some bad advice. White and Red can both be low FODMAP if they are on the dry side of wine. Butter is also low FODMAP. I suggest purchasing the Monash app that really helps identify what is “green” good, and “red” bad.

    Thank you so much, had such a hard time finding low FODMAP BBQ sauce. I’m glad to finally have a way of making it.

    So easy to make!!! Couldn’t find the sumac so left it out. Also used the Fody Ketchup. As my sauce still had some of the butter and corn meal rogue, I put it through a mesh sieve and it came out great. Love the hickory smoke liquid but find it a bit much so I will definitely cut down on the amount suggested. That being said, I have not tried grilling with it yet. Have to say this is a tasty BBQ sauce!!!! Thank you for the recipe.

    Did you can this BBQ Sauce? If so, can you provide some of the canning instructions? Is it okay to substitute Chili powder for the Chili sauce?
