1/4-1tspLiquid smoke, chipotle sauce or smoked paprikaoptional
Instructions
Place all ingredients in a pot. Stir well and bring to boil.
Reduce heat to low simmer and cook for 20 minutes without the lid, stir frequently.
Taste test (careful it will be VERY hot) and adjust seasoning as desired.
Cook longer for a thicker, stickier sauce. If you prefer, use an immersion blender to make a more smooth sauce. Add a touch brown sugar to make it sweeter or add broth, cider, beer or water to make it thinner and less sweet.
Remove from heat and enjoy right away, keep in fridge for 7-10 days or freeze for up to 12 months.
