  1. This sauce is ridiculously good and I love how it adds a smoky zing to my low carb chicken pizza. The fact that it thickens so well after just a few minutes is a total win. Five stars all the way!

  2. This sauce had the perfect balance of tang and smokiness thanks to the apple cider vinegar and smoked paprika. I used it on pulled pork and it really brought everything together with bold flavor. Simmering for 5 minutes thickened it just the right amount without over-reducing. Loved how the golden monk fruit added sweetness without the carbs. I’ll be keeping a jar of this in my fridge all summer.

  3. What kind or brand of seasonings do you use to make the taco seasoning? Is there a link available on Amazon?
