- Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the amount of honey, or substitute with maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
- Spice it up: Add cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce if you like a spicy kick in your BBQ sauce.
- Make it smokier: For a deeper smoky flavor, increase the smoked paprika or add a drop or two of liquid smoke.
- Consistency: If you want a thicker sauce, simmer it a bit longer until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Storage: This sauce will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or you can freeze it for up to 3 months.
