AIP Classic BBQ Sauce
Description
The AIP Classic BBQ Sauce uses pumpkin puree as a base sweetened with maple syrup and blackstrap molasses, balanced by coconut aminos and balsamic vinegar for depth and acidity. Garlic powder, onion powder, ginger, and smoked salt provide savory notes. Extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil is included to add richness and mouthfeel.
The sauce is cooked over medium heat until boiling and thickened slightly, allowing the ingredients to meld without burning. Cooling before use ensures a smooth consistency. It can be used immediately or stored in a resealable container for future use.
This sauce keeps well refrigerated for up to 3-5 days and also freezes effectively. The recipe notes caution against using solid fats to avoid separation when chilled. Honey can substitute maple syrup, and the sauce is featured in an Instant Pot AIP BBQ Ribs recipe, suggesting its suitability as a versatile accompaniment.
