mole asses? maybe some chili powder too

>>17956028
I get heirloom tomatoes, roast them, and puree them myself. I roast the garlic before doing it as well.

Add some liquid smoke.

>>17956028
You're currently attempting to make fast food/retail barbecue sauce instead of the real thing.

>>17956041

Ahhh, normally I would use liquid smoke I just don't have any but should get some tomorrow. It does help.

>>17956038

I'm a ketofag I can't really use molasses. Chili powder is an idea. I do have soem cayenne pepper I could add as well.

>>17956049

Any advice on where to look for that?

>Any advice on where to look for that?
Here:
>4 parts tomato puree
>1 part wild honey
>1 part vinegar of choice
>sauteed vidalia onions, garlic, and peppers (whichever pepper you prefer, I use cowhorn)
>paprika, salt, black pepper, brown sugar, and a couple spices/seasonings you like to make it your own
each different locale has their own recipes also. Tennessee makes it spicier and thicker with honey, texas is vinegary and tomato-ey, south carolina uses mustard instead of tomatoes, etc.

>Sweetener
needs to be proper brown sugar or it won't be right and ditch the cinnamon and nutmeg

>>17956041
>Add some liquid smoke.
Pic related, but no srlsy, you fegs need to lrn2 grill shit in actual firewood

>>17956158

The cinnamon is partly to offset the lack of brown sugar due to being a keto nerd and not able to eat sugar.

>>17956028
liquid smoke, something other than sweetner like molasses or brown sugar and fresh herbs.

>>17956028
My old workplace used to add a shot of espresso into the BBQ sauce

>>17956028
probably using shit tomatoes and not cooking long enough
use san marzano and let it simmer for actually the entire day

>>17956028
Start by frying the tomato puree, garlic, and dry spices in the butter for a few minutes. Add a teaspoon of picrel.

>>17956028
Try adding a tablespoon or two of vodka, it will really wake up the tomato and spices.

>>17956028
Why the hell are you adding butter to barbecue sauce you fat fucking retard.

>>17956294
Good call, some carmelized sweet onions like Vidalia or red oniion are another fairly common ingredient that adds natural sweetness along with darker savory notes.
Another sub for the marmite is a splash or two of fish sauce. Vegetarian oyster sauce made from mushrooms can work too, you just want to enrich and temper/balance the other flavors with the last two, not be able to pick them out when tasting the sauce.

>>17956028
Add either Mellon or watermelon
And msg and or soy sauce
Chili flakes or habanero seasoned evoo

>>17956028
Try adding bourbon/whisky base and in my opinion you should delete the butter.

>>17956384
Agreed, stop making shit food anon

>>17956028
Have you tried cramming it up your ass then squirting it back out? I find it gives it a depth of flavour that spices just can't imitate.

>>17956028
I find a squirt of warm fresh cum really adds a kick of umami to set the taste buds a dancing

I've always used ketchup not tomato puree for bbq sauce. Much nicer

Stop dancing around it and use ketchup

>>17956028
brown sugar

>>17956028
Add red wine

>>17956028
BBQ sauce needs actual sugar, not just sweetener.

>>17956054
>I'm a ketofag

I was going to recommend a recipe, but maybe go watch ketosnackz on IG and get some new ideas on how to eat cheese.

Ditch the cumin, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Add some liquid malt extract. Could use soy sauce instead of Worcestershire too.

>>17956028
too many ingredients.
>tomato puree
>apple cider vinegar
>brown sugar
>your choice of hot sauce and/or liquid smoke
>white pepper for additional heat
That's really all you need. Adding more stuff just muddies the flavors. It's like the difference between a chord with three notes and a chord with 12 notes.

>>17956028
switch the war chester sure sauce for soyboy sauce

>>17956338
wild turkey 101 would be light years better

>>17956273
Good luck with the authentic tasting keto bbq sauce fagwaud

>>17959035

Thakns, it's the pain. Got some good ideas from this thread though.

>>17956028
msg or use gochu jong peppers
koji or maybe some brewers yeast

>>17960374
Keto is retarded ass clown. Nobody is making you do it.

Where you have dijon, get some wholegrain mustard instead, either replacing it completely or getting a ratio that adds some oomph without replacing the dijon taste fully

>>17960522

Keto is great, health/fitness wise it's really good. I don't like most high carb/starches anyway. I just have to give up a few small things.

Probably just reducing it more would make it better without adding anything. But definitely add brown sugar.

>>17956028
I make my bbq with pieces of meat

>>17957203
I once mixed ketchup and soy sauce, the end result was actually pretty good. I dipped boiled eggs in it :3c

>>17956028
You forgot to add cigar ash...

really this
>>17957668
if you're serious

if you want to experiment, you should try the old equal parts ketchup and coke version

>>17961137
there's the sauce boss

>>17961137

The answer is always MSG
duh

>>17956028
chipotle peppers in adobo.

>>17956028

ur missing molasses and corn syrup. every bbq restaurant ive worked for includes them in their house bbq sauce. molasses is the big one, im at a middle eastern spot right now that has a quail dish with a middle eastern bbq sauce on it and we use pomegranate molasses in it. u need molasses.

>>17956054
Isn't tomato paste all sugar? How does that work with keto?
