Pitmaster Original (Kansas City-Style) BBQ Sauce (Low Sugar)

When most Americans think barbecue sauce, they likely think of Kansas City-Style. This sticky-sweet barbecue sauce-style was meant to be brushed on ribs. For our recipe, Legendary Pitmaster Ed Mitchell went back to an era before corn syrup reigned supreme and sweetened ours with butternut squash, carrots, and a touch of light brown cane sugar. It has the same texture and sweetness of most modern sauces, but without all the added sugar. Thick and sweet, you can freely pour this all-natural BBQ sauce on whatever just came off the smoker, the grill, or the stove top—guilt-free. Our Original BBQ sauce has one-third the added sugar of other leading  BBQ sauces.  

Please note the Original BBQ Sauce (KC-Style) is our only BBQ Sauce that contains added sugar and thus is not Whole30 or Paleo certified.

Ingredients: Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste), Vegetable Puree (Butternut Squash, Carrot), Brown Sugar, Distilled Vinegar, Salt, Garlic Powder, Allspice, Onion Powder, Natural Liquid Smoke (Water, Natural Smoke)

All-Natural, Gluten Free, NONGMO, Low Sugar (⅓ the added sugar of the leading BBQ Sauce)

Pitmaster Memphis Sweet BBQ Sauce (No Sugar)

Memphis is the crossroads of American barbecue.  African-Americans immigrated to Memphis for jobs from all over the South in the early 20th Century and they brought their different styles of BBQ with them, merging, like the Blues music that came out of Memphis, into its own unique, regional flavors. A Memphis "wet sauce" is usually a mix of the bold, spicy influences from Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana and the sweeter, heavier tomato-based sauces from Kansas City and St Louis. Our Memphis-style BBQ Sauce pulls on these classic crossroad flavors by rounding out a sweet-tomato based sauce, naturally sweetened with veggies and fruits, with the strong flavors of cayenne and black pepper.

Ingredients: Apple Cider Vinegar, Dates, Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste), Butternut Squash, Carrots, Salt, Paprika, Chili Pepper, Ancho Chili Pepper, Onion Powder, Beef Broth, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, Allspice, Cumin, Natural Liquid Smoke (Water, Natural Smoke)

Paleo, Whole30, NonGMO, Gluten-Free

Pitmaster Texas Bold BBQ Sauce (No Sugar)

Like Texas, real Texas barbecue is strong, not sweet. A long history of cattle herding formed Texas’ barbecue roots around beef, and the sauce followed suit. Legendary Pitmaster Ed Mitchell makes our sauce with beef broth, regional spices and American-grown veggies for homegrown flavor. This bold and spicy blend was made for brisket, burnt ends, and any other beef dish that could use a dollop of Texas-sized flavor. 

Ingredients: Apple Cider Vinegar, Dates, Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste), Butternut Squash, Carrots, Salt, Paprika, Chili Pepper, Ancho Chili Pepper, Onion Powder, Beef Broth, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, Allspice, Cumin, Natural Liquid Smoke (Water, Natural Smoke)
