I place the foil packets in a vegetable grill pan in order that the packet isn’t sitting straight on the fuel burner. The packet will be straight positioned on the coals in case you are utilizing a charcoal barbecue.}

-
Simmer all collectively over low warmth for a few half hour or till the sauce reaches the consistency of a superb barbecue sauce. I like mine a bit of thicker than most as a result of it’s simpler to brush on no matter is being grilled.
-
Puree the sauce after it cools down,to make it additional clean should you favor. I all the time do.

Retailer in hermetic container within the fridge in case you are utilizing it inside every week or so or freeze it in hermetic containers. Correctly preserving it in mason jars will make it final all summer season.
