Low carb/diabetic barbecue sauce

[illinoishokie]

1 small sweet onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbs EVOI
1 1/2 cups Diet Dr Pepper, divided
1/2 cup Heinz Reduced Sugar Ketchup
2 Tbs yellow mustard
2 Tbs woozy
2 Tbs sugar free pancake syrup
1 Tbs cider vinegar
1 Tbs soy sauce
1 Tbs liquid smoke
1 Tbs Splenda or Truvia
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Pinch ground cloves
Hot sauce to taste

Add 1/4 cup Diet Dr Pepper and the EVOI to a 2 quart sauce pan. Saute onion and garlic until translucent, 4-5 minutes. Stir in remaining Diet Dr Pepper and all remaining ingredients until well blended. Reduce heat to low and let simmer 20-30 minutes. Poor onto blender and blend until smooth. Will keep in fridge up to one week.

My wife and I are currently losing weight on the South Beach Diet. One great thing about barbecuing is that it's low carb diet friendly, except for the sauces. So I dabbled until I put together this recipe. My wife and I love it, and my wife shared some with her coworkers and they couldn't believe that it's low carb.

I have never heard of EVOI or woozy. What are they? I would love to make this. I have a friend coming over the beginning of next month for some Q. He is diabetic. Thank you.

I like the looks of that recipe and will also save for future reference!  All except for the liquid smoke.

Thanks.

Whiskey...I'm thinking EVOO Extra Virgin Olive Oil and woozy would be worcestershire sauce.
