Showing 1-10 of 10 delicious bbq and hot sauces recipes

This starts with plain, unsalted crushed tomatoes rather than a pre-seasoned pasta sauce, since store bought pizza sauces are often one of the saltiest parts of a homemade pizza without anyone realizing it. Simmering the sauce uncovered lets excess liquid evaporate and the tomato flavor concentrate naturally, building richness without needing to rely on added salt.

This builds in the classic jerk seasoning aromatics, allspice and thyme, directly into the hot sauce rather than treating it as a plain habanero blend, which is what gives it a distinctly Jamaican character beyond just raw heat. A touch of brown sugar balances the habanero's intense, fruity heat, rounding out the sauce instead of leaving it purely fiery.
