Here's a vinegar-based barbecue sauce that's pretty good. I got this from Fran McCullough's The Low-Carb Cookbook. It was part of a brisket recipe I adapted for a crock-pot (brisket NEVER dries out in a crock-pot, and it won't heat up your kitchen either). The sauce also makes a good marinade for other things, and I don't miss the ketchup or the sweetness.

5 oz. Worcestershire sauce (half of a ten-ounce bottle)
1/8 cup hot pepper sauce
1/2 stick of butter (I have also used olive oil)
1 cup cider vinegar
1/2 tbsp. black pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. red pepper flakes

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer 10 minutes. Cool and refrigerate. It will supposed keep for several days, but I've never had it on hand long enough to find out. :D

Thanks for the recipe. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, either, so this recipe should suit me fine.
