Notes

Here are a few tips to ensure your Bill Miller BBQ sauce comes out perfect every time:
 
  • Adjust the Sweetness: If you prefer your BBQ sauce on the sweeter side, add an extra tablespoon of brown sugar or honey.
  • Control the Heat: If you like a bit of spice, feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder. You can adjust the amount based on how spicy you like your sauce.
  • Let It Simmer: Allow the sauce to simmer on low heat for at least 15-20 minutes. This helps the flavors blend together and makes the sauce thicker.
  • Store It Properly: This sauce stores well in the refrigerator. You can make it ahead of time and keep it in an airtight jar for up to a week.
  • Try Different Vinegars: You can experiment with different types of vinegar (like apple cider vinegar or balsamic) to give the sauce a unique twist.
