Notes
- For thicker BBQ sauce, add more tomato paste.
- For a chunky BBQ sauce, add diced tomatoes.
- Using red onions instead of white onions gives the BBQ sauce a more substantial onion presence.
- Use a high-speed blender for a smooth sauce.
- The sauce will last 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
- You can also freeze the sauce. I suggest using Souper Cubes.
