Low Carb Barbecue Sauce

• 1 1/2 cups sugar-free spaghetti sauce (Hunts brand recommended)
• 1 (12 ounce) can diet pepsi (or other diet cola)
• 1/4 cup no-sugar-added ketchup (Heinz brand recommended)
• 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 pinch ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 2 teaspoons TABASCO(R) brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce
• hot sauce (to taste, Frank's brand recommended)
• xanthan gum

1. Combine all ingredients and simmer 20 minutes.
2. While whisking sauce, sprinkle xanthan gum in and whisk well. Add xanthan until the sauce has reached the desired thickness.
3. Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender while adding the xanthan gum to get a completely smooth sauce.
4. Refrigerate for storage.
