How Do I Store This Sauce For Later?
Refrigerator - Store in airtight container, jar or squeeze bottle for up to 2 weeks. Could try freezing it, but I've never done that.
If you'd like the sauce warm, you can warm in 30 second intervals in the microwave. If storing in a squeeze bottle, you can run hot water over the bottle for ample amount of time to warm the sauce or place the bottle in boiling water. Just make sure the bottle is capable of doing that.
What Ingredients Will I Need?
Feel free to swap sugar for brown sugar, maple syrup or agave.
If you have to use a sugar substitute, understand that the flavor will be much different. I have not personally tried substitutes for this recipe because they give me the ****. Haha (Leave a comment if you did try and let me know how it went!)
Add some spice like cayenne pepper.
See recipe card above for exact measurements.
