Preferably one that's available at Dillon's or Walmart as those are my only 2 places to shop at.

Thanks,

ON EDIT..........

Thanks everyone for the information, I now have a written list of BBQ Sauces to look for locally. DU is great!

1. I believe

Arthur Bryant's sauce does not use it.

2. Homemade recipe?

I'd go online and search for a nice Kansas City recipe.

3. We use rib rack bb sauce

It is available at both Giant and Safeway. My wife decided High Fructose is the devil and we look to avoid it where we can. Rib Rack is HFCS free.

5. Looks like they carry it at both Walmart and Dillons

4. Jardine's

Either Mesquite or 5 Star

I still get it sent to me in Germany from Dallas. Few stores actually carry it, but ordering it online is relatively easy compared to many other online food offers, I have found.

6. DFW, how was the Cape.

We were there for the week in August with all the Rain. But still, a bad week at the cape beats a good week at work.

11. We got there July 1, had to leave August 5

It was fine, rain mostly in the evening. Not a day without at least some sun, and a fair amount of time at Long Nook Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in North America, in our opinion.

The Stop&Shop in P-town has slowly started up allowing Eastern European students back for summer work programs, and we made some new friends from Crna Gora (Montenegro), who will remember you with a smile for the rest of the summer if you only say the name of their country correctly, since most of the shoppers don’t even know where it is.

7. G Hughes sugar free at walmart

8. What chemical replaces the sugar?

17. Sucralose, I think

9. Stubb's Hickory Bourbon is good. I think I got it at Kroger.

Ingredients:
Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste), Sugar, Distilled Vinegar, Molasses, Bourbon, Salt, Corn Starch, Spices (Including Red Pepper), Contains Less than 0.5% of Natural Flavor (Including Hickory Smoke), Onion, Garlic, Guar Gum (Thickener), Xanthan Gum (Thickener).

They have a lot of different flavors: https://www.mccormick.com/stubbs/products/sauces/bar-b-q-sauces/stubbs-hickory-bourbon-bar-b-q-sauce#

13. I love this recipe for homemade Carolina Red BBQ Sauce

It is a peppery, vinegary thin sauce.

Ingredients

Makes about 2 cups
1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon (packed) brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper

Stir all ingredients in small bowl until sugar and salt dissolve. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

14. Check the label on the ketchup you use.

Some brands contain HFCS.

16. Kroger Organic Ketchup

Organic Tomato Concentrate (Water, Organic Tomato Paste), Organic Sugar, Organic Vinegar, Salt, Organic Onion Powder, Organic Spices.

20. Thanks for that heads up Bill

The Kroger brand ketchup in my refrigerator is all HFCS, next bottle will not be.

[Mr.Bill]

21. The Signature Select brand

I buy at Safeway uses only sugar.

[marble falls]

10. Home made.

12. Weber (the grill company). BBQ sauce.

It’s tasty. And no HFCS.you can a see it says so right across the top of the label. We use this all the time.

15. Ken Davis Original

Has corn syrup, but not high fructose. Other sweetener is molasses.

It's my go-to when I use sauce. I haven't been able to make one I like better. However, if the dry rub is good, I only use an occasional dip into the sauce, if at all.

18. Skip that nasty bottled stuff completely, it's all HCFS and vinegar

and make your own. It's surprisingly easy and so much better than that hasty ass creap from the supermarket.

I prefer mine spicy, garlicky and with maybe a touch of lemon juice but no vinegar and very little sweetness.

19. Other than the ones you make yourself, no

you could start with tomato paste (but check the ingredients!) and add flavorings to taste. IMHO, good barbecue doesn't need sauce, but I know I'm in a minority here.

Or you could try other styles - I like Carolina style with vinegar or mustard, or Korean with a hot chile paste
