Recipe Notes

Substitute tamari sauce for the soy sauce if you are wheat-free.

Substitute organic coconut aminos for the soy sauce if you are soy free. Do not use Bragg's Liquid Aminos as this contains MSG residues from the hydrolyzed soy protein.

Substitute 1/2 tsp garlic powder for the 2 cloves and 1/8 tsp ginger powder for the freshly grated ginger if desired.

Use date syrup instead of honey if you will be using the BBQ sauce for cooking rather than as a condiment at the table.
