Recipe View 8 hrs Once cooled, pour the sauce into a sterilized glass jar. Store, uncovered, in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to fully meld and mellow, creating a richer, more harmonious taste profile. (Refrigeration time: 8+ hours)

For a smokier flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the sauce while simmering.
Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to your liking. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.
Sterilizing the jar properly is important for preventing the growth of bacteria and extending the shelf life of the sauce. This can be done by boiling the jar and lid in water for 10 minutes.
The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools in the refrigerator. If it becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
This sauce pairs perfectly with grilled chicken, ribs, pulled pork, or even as a dipping sauce for fries or onion rings.

    I found it a bit too tangy for my taste, so I added a touch more brown sugar. Perfect!
