BBQ sauce and ketchup

[Moochiecat]

I don't eat a lot of this sort of thing (a bottle of each would last me about a year!), but with summer around the corner I'll be needing a new bbq sauce and ketchup now that Atkins and Carb Options are no longer available.
We used to have two low-carb stores in town but they've both gone belly up.

If anyone has a recipe for a good bbq sauce or ketchup that'd be great, or some alternatives.
I do have a Canadian site I can order some Walden Farms bbq sauce from...has anyone had it? How is it?

I REALLY enjoy mixing bbq sauce with mayo and having that on a burger..oh man...SO good.

Re: BBQ sauce and ketchup

Is the Heinz 1 carb ketchup available in Canada? That tastes just like the regular heinz ketchup.

Re: BBQ sauce and ketchup

I live and die by that Heinz low carb ketchup. I've found it in nearly every grocery store here (regardless of how high or low end). The only advice I can give to you about making ketchup is that you need a super duper strong blender--I've tried and always comes out chunky and weird.

Could always make your own...tastier than the shops and you can put what you like in it.

I'll keep an eye out for the Heinz stuff...and John, if you have a recipe, please share!

Moochie, President's Choice has a blue label ketchup using Splenda. Much cheaper then the carb options used to be. There is also a bbq sauce although I didn't get a chance to read the label.

The PC blue label ketchup is great, and goes on sale for .99 occaisionally!

No there is no Heinz one carb Ketchup here though i bought some in the states and it was exactly the same as the PC one.

I usually just wing it when i make bbq sauces: ketchup base and add: worcestershire, garlic, splenda or liquid sugar twin, pepper, salt, bit of hot sauce or cayenne to taste, dijon mustard. I just keep adding stuff till i get the right taste! depends on my mood but sometimes i take out the mustard and add s/f maple syrup too.

Re: BBQ sauce and ketchup

What Isabeau and Sadie said. The PC stuff is really good. Like you, a bottle of each lasts me a really, really long time and I don't think it's much more expensive than the regular stuff.
