SIMPLE BARBECUE SAUCE

Smoked paprika is the secret weapon in this simple barbecue sauce, which goes beautifully with pork and chicken. If you're painting the sauce onto cooking meat, thin it out with water to about a one-to-one ratio, which will keep the sugars from burning too quickly over the fire. Serve the full-strength stuff alongside the finished meat.

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. If you can, use fresh tomatoes, onions, and garlic.
  • Simmer the sauce for a long time. The longer you simmer the sauce, the more time the flavors will have to develop. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have time.
  • Taste the sauce as you go. Season the sauce to your taste. You may want to add more of a particular spice, or you may want to add some sweetness with brown sugar or honey.
