Notes
- Store in airtight container in fridge up to two weeks.
- If you'd like thicker sauce, let it cook about 5 minutes or so longer on simmer till the sauce is your desired thickness. If you want it thinner, cook it down less.
- Feel free to play around with the amounts of sweet/hot in this sauce. Make it yours!
- In addition to keeping this best homemade BBQ sauce in the fridge, you can also freeze it for a few months at a time. I like to freeze mine in individual ice cube trays then pop out as much as I want/need for whatever meal I'm making.
