I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really runny. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This sauce is a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loves it. He says it's the best barbecue sauce he's ever had.

I'm not a big fan of barbecue sauce, but this one is delicious. It's not too sweet and it has a nice smoky flavor.

This sauce is a great balance of sweet and spicy. I added a little extra cayenne pepper for a bit of a kick.
