For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add an extra tablespoon of maple syrup or turbinado sugar. This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. The flavors will meld and deepen over time. Consider using a high-quality smoked paprika for a truly authentic barbeque flavor. Adjust the amount of black pepper to your personal preference. This recipe makes approximately 1 1/2 cups of barbeque sauce.
