Heat a sauce pan over medium low heat. Add all ingredients, stir to combine, and bring to a low simmer for 5 minutes. You don't want it to boil, just get warmed through. Heating will allow the flavors to marry.
(If using dates, transfer the BBQ sauce to a blender, and blend on high speed for 2 minutes.)
Store in an airtight container or wide mouth pint mason jar. Will keep in the fridge for at least 3 months, or frozen for 1 year.

This low carb grilling sauce is versatile and forgiving. Here are a few ideas to make it your own:
Make it smoky: Add a few drops of liquid smoke or a pinch of smoked paprika.
Spice it up: Stir in chili powder, cayenne, or a splash of hot sauce for heat.
Adjust thickness: Prefer a thinner sauce? Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
