Notes

Keto Vinegar Sauce Substitutes: We use Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener with Erythritol or Maple syrup (Choczero) as substitutes for the brown sugar in this recipe. Cooking instructions and storage stay the same.

Technically speaking, a true eastern NC BBQ sauce doesn't have ketchup. But, we love the depth and umami this teeny bit injects to the sauce.
