Notes
- The nutrition information on this recipe is for amusement only. Depending on the vegan products you purchase or make, the calories and other nutritional information will be way off.
- I have only found the guava jam on Amazon. If you can't find it at your store and don't want to wait, you can substitute in another jam or jelly like apricot or peach. It will still be tasty, but the guava jam gives the bbq a very different flavor and is worth waiting for in my opinion.
- Read the recipe post (above) for suggestions on what types of vegan-friendly products or recipes to use.
- Most Worcestershire sauce is not vegan because it contains anchovy paste. Read the blog post (above) for some vegan suggestions.
- If you use ground ginger instead of ginger paste, reduce the amount to one teaspoon of ground ginger.
- The alcohol is not going to cook out in the short amount of time you are heating the sauce. If this is concern for you then sub in some veggie broth instead.
