Tangy BBQ Sauce

For Texas barbecue, you need a spicy, slightly sweet sauce.

1 stick of butter
1/4 cup vinegar
1 cup tomato sauce
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire
1/2 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. mustard
2 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. hickory liquid smoke
4 tsp. Sugar Twin or Splenda

Melt butter, add vinegar and then other ingredients.
Stir until well blended.
Bring to a boil, lower heat, and let simmer a few minutes.
Brush meat with sauce during last fiften minutes of cooking.
Adding it too soon may cause scorching.
I like a spicier sauce, so I add a couple of tablespoons of Pace Thick 'N Chunky picante sauce (salsa). NOTE: This will increase the carb count.
If you live in Canada, you may be able to purchase Sweet n Low brand brown sugar substitute. It gives you a nice variation on the basic sauce
