🌍 Origin & History
This combo recipe gives you two pantry staples from one shopping trip — sugar-free BBQ sauce and sugar-free ketchup share most of their ingredients. Making both at once saves time and ensures your diabetic pantry is fully stocked. The BBQ sauce is KC-style; the ketchup is classic American. Both use allulose and monk fruit for sweetness without the spike.
