How To Make a Healthy BBQ Sauce From Scratch Recipe Video

I am a big fan of BBQ Sauce, but most Barbeque sauces out there have tons of High Fructose Corn Syrup as well as way too many preservatives in them which make them unhealthy. I decided to tackle this task of making a healthy version of a KC Masterpiece, except It will have my own spin on it. It will be healthy, natural, low in sugar and fat, and full of vitamins and minerals.
