Let me start by saying that my family are condiment junkies. We have an entire pantry shelf dedicated to condiments and half of my fridge door.
Finding keto-friendly sauces is particularly hard as the big manufacturers love to throw heaps of sugar in theirs, and sometimes the sugar-free ones can taste a bit vinegary.
This sauce is sweet and a bit spicy, with complex flavours and is perfect poured on EVERYTHING! Just last week I used it to marinate and then slow cook some baby back ribs and it was absolute perfection. Enjoy!
