Notes
Storage: Homemade BBQ sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks. For longer storage, you can freeze it in portions and thaw as needed.
Thickness: I think you will be happy with the thickness of this sauce, but if you want it a little thicker, try adding a little cornstarch and heat it on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Sweeteners: Maple syrup is perfect for the smoky flavor of barbecue sauce, but other options include honey, agave nectar, or date syrup.
Store-Bought Option: There is one great-tasting store-bought BBQ sauce that I like, and it's much lower in sugar and has no oil. It has a funny name--especially because we are plant-based eaters. It is called Bone Suckin' Sauce.
