LYNCHBURG BARBECUE SAUCE (LOW SODIUM)
A very low sodium barbecue sauce that's not too sweet (which I prefer) from Dick Logue's newsletter of low sodium recipes, which I subscribe to. If you add it too early and it cooks longer than about 1/2 hour it blackens and gets crisp.

Tips:
- Use low-sodium ingredients: This is the key to making a low-sodium barbecue sauce. Look for low-sodium versions of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. You can also use unsalted tomato sauce or diced tomatoes.
- Add sweetness with natural ingredients: Instead of using refined sugar, use natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or molasses. These sweeteners will add a rich, complex flavor to your sauce without adding a lot of sodium.
- Use spices and herbs to add flavor: Spices and herbs are a great way to add flavor to your sauce without adding sodium. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano.
- Let the sauce simmer: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld and develop. It also helps to thicken the sauce and reduce the sodium content.
- Taste the sauce as you go: It's important to taste the sauce as you're making it so that you can adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more spices, herbs, or sweetener as needed.
