Dark Cherry BBQ Sauce (nightshade-free)
January 15, 2023 Andrea Wyckoff
This dark cherry BBQ sauce is a nightshade-free alternative to the typical tomato-based BBQ sauce. The flavors can easily be adjusted to your preferences by adding vinegar, molasses, or mustard to taste. This is fabulous with grilled fruit & veggie kabobs, or with any cut of pork, beef, or chicken you feel like barbecuing.

New to nightshade free diet. Didn’t realize both mustards I have contain paprika(my son eats it not me) so be cautious if using mustard to read the ingredients first
