For a smoky depth, consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the sauce during the simmering process. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your spice preference. Start with a milder hot sauce and add more to taste. This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before using. Brush the sauce on your ribs or other meats during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking for the best sticky glaze.
