Root Beer Barbecue Sauce (GF, DF)

Posted on by traci

This barbecue sauce is easy to cook and also delicious!  Both Wee One and Hubby gave their seal approval with this sauce.

The only issue is that I’m trying to avoid eating or drinking foods or drinks that include high fructose corn syrup.  I recently found a ketchup that does not have high fructose corn syrup (Kroger’s organic ketchup), so I used that.  The root beer, however, did contain high fructose corn syrup.  My next mission is to find root beer without corn syrup.
