This recipe did not turn out well for me. I think I may have used the wrong type of tomatoes. I'll have to try it again sometime.

This sauce was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll probably try making it again with less cayenne pepper next time.

I love this sauce! It's so versatile. I've used it on everything from chicken to fish to tofu. It's always a hit.

This sauce is amazing! It's got the perfect balance of heat, spice, and sweetness. I used it on shrimp and it was a huge hit with my family. Will definitely be making this again!
