Notes
My Top Tip♡ I prefer to make barbecue sauce a day ahead of needing it. This gives the ingredients in the sauce time to marry and time makes the flavor richer.Make-Ahead & StorageAfter it has cooled from cooking, you can store homemade barbecue sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. I like to use a mason jar or a plain glass jar, but you can use any refrigerator-safe, non-metallic container you have on hand.
