Quite awhile ago, I posted my Just Peachy BBQ sauce that I used to make in large batches and can using a water bath canning method. (See National Center for Home Food Preservation for more information on safe canning measures.) It was so nice to have ready-made BBQ sauce in the pantry ready to go at a moment’s notice for an easy weeknight meal.
In case you haven’t heard this by now, nightshades are no-no on AIP, so I’ve reworked the recipe to be nightshade free and also free of coconut sugar (for the SCD and GAPS crowd).
Even my non-AIP husband loved the BBQ sauce. I like to brush it on turkey legs or any bone-in skin-on chicken toward the end of grilling. It’s also wonderful served as a condiment for chicken fingers, slathered on burgers, or as a sauce for pizza.
