Good Eating Monday: Barbeque Sauce
Today we're going to talk about barbecue sauce---the bottled kind you buy. Do you read the ingredients before buying? I used to buy what was cheap---usually the Kraft, but then I started reading the ingredients and noticed the first ingredient on the Kraft bottle and several other brands was corn syrup. You know, Karo. It's not that corn syrup is bad. You want Karo when you make a pecan pie. No, my only concern is corn syrup is just plain o' sugar and I don't want to buy a bottled sugar. Besides, reducing sugar intake is being encouraged nowadays, since type 2 diabetes is directly related to obesity. So changing to a bottled barbecue brand to something without corn syrup on the ingredient list could be a good move. Of course, I realize you can make home-made barbecue, but I like the convenience of ready-made. I buy Bull's-Eye Barbecue because the first ingredient on the list is tomato puree . Other ingredients include vinegar, molasses, mustard powder...
