Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes. The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your barbecue sauce will be.
- Roast the tomatoes. Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste.
- Use a variety of spices. The spices in barbecue sauce can vary depending on your personal preferences. Some common spices include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Simmer the sauce for a long time. The longer you simmer the sauce, the more time the flavors will have to meld together.
- Taste the sauce as you go. Adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- Let the sauce cool before serving. This will allow the flavors to continue to develop.
