because i have congestive heart failure and have to limit mt sodium i made sure that i used NO SALT ADDED tomato paste. i did not add any salt. i used minced garlic in a little glass jar. i did not use liquid smoke, i used the herb smoked chipotle. i did not use corn starch.

i cooked my BBQ sauce in a crockpot for hours. it was very thick. i did add some Mrs Dash blends.

Thank you Pat! This sounds delicious, and next time I barbecue, I will be making it. I'm giving it to Tony to put it on our website and we will mention you and include the link.
