In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato paste and water. Whisk together until smooth.
Add the apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Stir well to combine.
Mix in the Splenda, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. For a sweeter sauce, you can add an additional tablespoon of Splenda.
Once the sauce has thickened and the flavors are well combined, remove it from heat.
Allow the BBQ sauce to cool slightly, then transfer it to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Use the sauce as a glaze for meat, a basting sauce for grilling, or as a dipping sauce for your favorite dishes.
