In reply to Isabelle. The point is the glycemic index (GI), how fast you get that carb inside your body, thus raising your blood's levels faster. Sugar is 100/100 on the list. Apples are at 35? Molasses is about 50 along with honey. Also molasses are very sweet and much more nutritious.

In reply to Paul.

Agreed. Not sure why molasse would be considered any better than white sugar. Sugar is sugar, unfortunately ?
And the only Worcestershire sauce I have access to is made with crappy ingredients…
It’s soooooo hard to find a real sugar-free BBQ sauce recipe.
Thanks for trying!

In reply to Brenda.

No, it is not. Molasses is still the highly refined product of sugar cane. By extracting the juice out of the cane and concentrating it through evaporation / distillation to remove water, the remaining substance is molasses.

If you remove the fiber, it’s refining, and there is no such thing as a healthy sugar after you’ve removed the fiber. Pretty much the only reason humans like sugar is to get us to eat fruits for their fiber and vitamins.

The sugars in molasses are no less harmful than high fructose corn syrup, and the trace amount of other nutrients that are removed from further refinement into white table sugar in no way come close to balancing out the detrimental effects of eating refined sugars.

If it’s not a whole fruit, the sugar is bad for you. It’s not too harmful if it’s an occasional treat, but don’t fool yourself into thinking that molasses is somehow OK while corn syrup is bad; they’re both bad, and this recipe is no different health wise for using one or the other.

Can I substitute honey in place of the molasses? Our family doesn’t really care for molasses and we have access to plenty of bee keepers with fresh honey.

In reply to Terry. and that is why this recipe is titles refined sugar free because molasses is a natural sugar.

Have you checked the sugar content of molasses? 10g per tbsp.–maybe not that much to some, but certainly not sugar free.

I just made this and I find the amount of apple cider vinegar to be a little too much. The only way I knew to cut the vinegar taste was to add brown sugar. However, the sauce is good and I have been looking for a good barbeque sauce for a long time. Thanks a bunch.

Nice recipe! But…. have you read the ingredients on Worcestershire sauce? Its full of crap… corn syrup, soy bean oil, caramel coloring… or do you have a natural brand? Curious. I make my own bbq sauce and I omit worcestershire.
