I use Organic Black Strap Molasses, which has great natural iron in it and only 13 carbs per Tablespoon (the low carb count of any Molasses). It is REALLY strong, much stronger than other types of Molasses. For me 1 Tbsp is usually enough for an entire recipe of whatever it I need. For example, if you are making 3 cups of BBQ sauce that is going to be used on an entire chicken or rib its not a lot of carbs per person.

A trick that is in Dana Carpenter's 500 Low Carb Recipes is to use Black Strap Molasses and Splenda as a substitution for brown sugar. It works great. I use just ½ teaspoon of Blackstrap Molasses with 2 or 3 tablespoons Splenda, it really works well for things you just have to have brown sugar molasses flavor, for example a low carb oat bran muffin has to have this flavor to make it taste right.

I bought a bottle a year ago and still have over half of it because I use so little of it. I keep it in the fridge.
