Smoky Tomato & Mango BBQ Sauce

I'm appalled at the lack of sugar free barbecue sauces available on the market. The
amount that I could find in my local grocery stores = zero. I'm glad though because if I'd
been able to buy some I'd never have tried making my own! This sauce is delicious on
chicken, or especially mixed into some velvety pulled pork! Who's hungry??

Makes about 2 cups

• 2 cups tomato puree
• 1/4 cup sugar free ketchup
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 1/4 cup dijon mustard
• 1 Tbl liquid smoke
• 1 Tbl apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp fish sauce
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• 1 Tbl Texas Pete hot sauce
• 2 Tbl dehydrated onions
• 1 Tbl ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp celery salt
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 Tbl garlic powder
• 2 Tbl sweetener*
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp allspice
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 TBL sugar free mango syrup (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Cook down for about 30 minutes or until you reach the consistency you want. Taste and adjust for sweetness, salt, and heat to your
preference. Slather it on everything!

Sun-Dried Tomato & Olive Flax Crackers

This version of the flax crackers is bold flavored and goes great with an antipasti platter of hard cheeses, cured meats and of course, olives!

Makes about 120 crackers

• 1 cup milled flax
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• 2 Tbl minced sun-dried tomatoes
• 2 Tbl minced kalamata olives
• 2 eggs
• Sea salt or kosher salt for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Add the flax meal, Parmesan, thyme, sun-dried
tomatoes, and olives to a medium bowl. Stir until fully combined. Add the eggs and blend until a dough forms. Chill for about 5 minutes. Place a piece of parchment paper on your counter top. It should be about the same size as your cookie sheet. Put the chilled dough in the center of the parchment and cover with another piece of parchment paper of about the same size. Using a rolling pin, roll until the dough is about an 1/8 of an inch thick. Remove the top layer of parchment. Use a cookie cutter, or a pizza roller if you have one, and cut a grid of 1 inch squares. Be careful not to cut through the parchment. Lift the entire sheet of parchment and crackers onto your cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Bake for at 350 degrees (F) for 10 - 12 minutes. If you want them nice and crisp, turn the oven off and remove the crackers for about 10 minutes until the oven cools down slightly. Then put the crackers back in while it is still warm and leave them in for about an hour. They will continue to dry out until super crispy. Serve with cheese or as a vehicle for your favorite low carb dips!

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbs olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves minced
• 1 cup chopped onion
• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar (about 4g of sugar per 100g)
• ¼ cup red wine vinegar (Nil sugar)
• ¼ cup honey or Stevia alternative (85g of sugar per 100gm is high, but it's at least natural. Use Stevia sweetening if desired)
• 1 tsp salt
• 28 ounce can tomato puree (canned tomatoes have about 2.5g sugar per 100g)
• half a 12 ounce can tomato paste (tomato paste has about 11g sugar per 100g, so we aren't using much)
• ½ tsp ground cloves
• ½ tsp oregano

Directions:
1. Heat the oil and saute garlic for a few minutes.
2. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened.
3. Mix in the vinegars, salt and honey.
4. Add tomato paste and puree, bringing to the boil.
5. Now mix in the oregano and the cloves.
6. Reduce the sauce so it thickens, for about 15 minutes.
7. Blend until smooth.
*Place into air tight jars in the fridge, or freeze some in plastic containers.
