I created this sauce for my daughter. She loves BBQ drumsticks and I wanted to make a sauce that she loved but that I felt good about giving her. It took me a while to get it just right, but I finally got it! This has a perfect balance between sweet and tangy and the whole family loves it.
We love using this Paleo BBQ sauce on everything! It pairs really well with lots of different proteins and it will get my picky toddler to eat almost anything. I like to store mine in little glass mason jars, although it never lasts long! I also linked dates on Amazon, but my favorite place to buy them is at Sam’s Club. You can buy a big tub of them for a great price. We use dates in smoothies, sauces and just as a sweet snack!
