Yields1 ServingPrep Time10 minsCook Time30 minsTotal Time40 mins

A sweet and savory BBQ sauce

 ½ cup blackstrap molasses*
 ½ cup brown sugar, not packed
 ⅓ cup butternut squash, cooked & pureed (or you can use pumpkin)
 5 oz (about 10 TB) grape jelly
 5 oz (about 10 TB) blackberry jam
 1 ½ tsp minced garlic
 2 tsp onion powder
 1 tsp minced dried onion (or 1 TB fresh white onion)
 1 ½ tsp salt
 ⅛ tsp ground cloves
Histamine Level: 1
 Rated a 1 due to the garlic & dried onion. Omit garlic and substitute fresh onion for level 0.
 *molasses is not on the SIGHI list. MastCell360 lists it as a low histamine sweetener, although they recommend using very small amounts of sugar as it raises blood sugar which can cause inflammation. That being said, this sauce is basically all sugar 😆
