Tips:
- Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they have fewer seeds and are less acidic.
- Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to create your own unique BBQ sauce. Some popular spices include paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
- Cook the sauce low and slow: This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours.
- Taste the sauce as you go: Adjust the seasoning to your liking. Add more spices if you want a spicier sauce, or add more sugar if you want a sweeter sauce.
- Let the sauce cool before using: This will allow the flavors to meld together. You can store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze it for up to 6 months.
