How do I thicken BBQ sauce?

This sauce is pretty thick to begin with, but if you want it even thicker, put it on the stove over low heat and simmer it, stirring often, until the sauce is as thick as you want it.

Can I make BBQ sauce ahead of time?

Absolutely! I make a big batch and use it throughout the summer.

How can I make my BBQ sauce smokier?

If you want to add some smoke flavor, add ¼ teaspoon of liquid smoke to the recipe.
