Awesome!
This was my first time making homemade bbq sauce and it turned out great! About halfway through though it tasted a bit more sweet than spicy though, so I added another 1/4 cup of ketchup, 1tbs of cayenne pepper and 1tsp of liquid smoke and I threw in 1tsp of smoked paprika, and also used a hand blender to make it smoother, and it turned out amazing! Thanks for the recipe, everyone loved it.
