For a smoother sauce, strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve after blending. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your desired level of spiciness. If you don't have liquid smoke, you can substitute with smoked paprika for a similar flavor profile. This sauce also works well as a glaze for grilled salmon or tofu.
