Recipe by:

"The ultimate mans BBQ sauce! This is my husband's favorite BBQ sauce and has become a favorite for anyone I have ever made this for. A delicious healthier twist on traditional BBQ sauce! The carrots add a hint of sweetness and you won't even know they're there! Great starting point for quick and easy meals (see notes) or seal it in a mason jar for an impressive homemade gift."

Footnotes

  • Cook's Notes:
  • The carrots might seem weird, but they add sweetness without having to add sugar. You may substitute 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup white sugar for the honey and carrots.
  • If you don not like your BBQ sauce spicy, simply leave out the jalapenos.
  • This recipe is perfect for making pulled pork sandwiches! Simply pour over a pork roast and let cook on Low for 8 hours in a slow cooker. Shred the roast and put on buns for a laughably easy and delicious mid week meal!

I used New Belgium 1554 and it turned out fantastic. Was pleased it wasn't too hot as others frequently have a problem with that. Has a great zing!
