2. Add Red Pepper Flakes and Hot Sauce
Add the red pepper flakes and hot sauce to the mixture. Stir to combine.
3. Season with Salt and Pepper
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
4. Store the Sauce
Transfer the sauce to an airtight container or jar. Refrigerate for up to a month.
Adjust vinegar, sugar, and spices to achieve the classic tangy, sweet, and mildly spicy profile.
Choose high-quality vinegar and tomato products for depth of flavor.
Simmer the sauce gently to meld flavors and reduce to the desired intensity.
Use fresh garlic or onions rather than powdered versions to enhance flavor.
Let the sauce rest overnight in the refrigerator for a more cohesive flavor.
