 Yet another from the "Atkins Diet" folks. This one is a lot closer to the traditional "KC style". It has a little more carbs because of the molasses, but FAR less than the commercial brands. And the addition of the molasses brings this much closer to the traditional thick, sweet, spicy KQ version.

Net results: 10 Cal, 0 G Fat. 2 G carb per 1 Tbs serving.

Ingredients:
* 1 cup Low Carb Ketchup (either Heinz or Linda's "Better Than Heinz" Recipe - http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/evenbett...)
* 1 cup tomato sauce
* 1/2 cup Splenda or liquid equivalent (preferred)
* 1/2 cup vinegar
* 1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
* 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
* 1 tablespoons butter
* 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
* 1/2 teaspoon paprika
* Dash of chili powder
* Dash ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Directions:
Place all ingredients in a heavy sauce pan. Heat over medium-high heat until simmering boil. Cook for about 20 minutes. Refrigerate.

Will keep about 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Tips:
Many of the variations on the original posts will work for this. Heat it up with a combination of pepper and hot sauce, or add the whiskey of your choice. Add complexity by experimenting with "bbq spices" like paprika, nutmeg, cardimon, or different types of cinnamon, or play around with the type of vinegar used.
