Wipe Your Mouth BBQ (E or FP)

This is a smack-your-lips, sweet heat, wipe-that-mouth saucy BBQ that makes your busy season so much less stressful! Just throw the ingredients in your crockpot in the morning and you no longer have to worry about dinner. The traditional E version is perfect on sprouted rolls or over brown rice with steamed veggies on the side. Or, simply throw some finely cut cabbage in with your sandwich if you want less fuss. This recipe was first featured in our Trim Healthy Mama cookbook but now we have a FP-version. To make Wipe Your Mouth BBQ FP-style, please see the Recipe Notes below.
