Why do you add the ketchup? Is it for the spices? Body? Acidity? Just wondering because I am allergic to tomatoes, and would need to find a substitute for the ketchup. Otherwise, this sounds fantastic!
It is more for the body, you could replace it with anything you want. Even something like pumpkin, maybe a pumpkin raspberry bbq sauce for the fall?
I made this with blackberries, since the store had only sweetened raspberries. Still very good, though the blackberry seeds are more noticeable than more than raspberry would be. Also, it’s one of those things that’s better the next day, so make it ahead of time if you can!
So good to hear, blackberries sound amazing I will have to try that. And yes, this sauce is perfect at about day 2 or 3
Melanie it will be fine without it, no worries. You will still enjoy it since the raspberries are sweet
This looks great! I am excited to make it to go with the crock pot pulled pork this week. I am in a paleo challenge at my CrossFit and I am VERY strict paleo during the challenge, so I'm not eating honey. How critical is it to the recipe? Since it's such a small amount, I'm hoping it will still be great. What do you think?
