sugar free sauce for pulled pork

Unknown

Ive been on the Atkins Diet since Jan 1 and have lost 27lbs. Great thing is I can eat lots of protein, so the egg has been busy.

My only frustration is with bbq sauce. I need a recipe for a low-carb (i.e. sugar free) sauce for pulled pork. Any suggestions from the eggsperts out there? I know somebody else has tackled this. I am looking to make it myself rather than buy it, but I'll take some brand names, too!

I have not tried this but heard good reviews for it a while back.

Here's a good one. A little complicated but well worth the effort. The malt syrup does have fructose I think but with only one tbsp it doesnt add many carbs to the whole recipie.

1/3 Cup Splenda
1 Tablespoon Chili Powder (sweet - not spicy)
