Units
Scale
- 2 cups strained tomatoes
- 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste

- 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional*)
Instructions
- In a medium sauce pan (mine is 2 quarts), whisk together all of the ingredients.
- Set sauce pan over medium-high heat and bring to a low boil; reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, whisking occasionally, or until your desired thickness.
- Remove from heat, and once it's cool enough, taste the sauce and adjust seasonings to your taste.
- Let cool for about 10-15 minutes before applying to meat; cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
- Apply to your favorite meats, like my Low FODMAP Instant Pot Pulled Pork or my Low FODMAP Instant Pot BBQ Pork Ribs. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 7-10 days.
Notes
- Cayenne: While low FODMAP in small quantities per Monash University's Low FODMAP Diet app, cayenne contains capsaicin, which may trigger symptoms in some people with IBS.
- Liquid smoke: While it has not yet been tested by Monash University for FODMAP content, certain brands of liquid smoke only contain water and hickory smoke concentrate, which is a natural byproduct of burning wood. See the post above for additional information.
- Servings: This barbecue sauce recipe makes about 4 cups or 32 ounces of barbecue sauce. This makes about sixteen, 1/4 cup sized servings.
- Update: 6/22/21 - tweaked ingredients and instructions to improve the flavor and viscosity of the sauce.
