In a nut shell, a Erythretol/Stevia Extract blend.   Both are NATURAL sweeteners with zero effect on blood glucose levels, and the erythretol provides some of that stickiness you want in a BBQ sauce.

I buy them separately and blend them myself as needed.  The only thing you have to watch is using too much erythretol in liquid recipes or it will re-crystalize once it reaches it's saturation point, which is much lower than sugar.  I found this out the hard way while developing my low-carb BBQ sauce recipe.


Note: I use the "Now" brand Better Stevia Extract powder.
