Growing up in Texas, I got used to a certain type of BBQ. After I moved to Florida, I loved how lots of different citruses were being added to BBQ sauces.

Tips:

Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best results. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they have a meaty texture and low water content.
Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives the sauce a smoky depth of flavor. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on the grill.
Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices add a lot of flavor to the sauce. Some good choices include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and onion.
Simmer the sauce for a few hours: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed: Be sure to taste the sauce as you're cooking it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.

Conclusion:

Florida BBQ sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of foods. It's perfect for ribs, chicken, pork, and fish. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for vegetables or crackers. No matter how you use it, Florida BBQ sauce is sure to be a hit.
