This BBQ sauce is a spicy tomato sauce based with a smoky taste. The smoky taste is due to the liquid smoke and the mix of herbs. Add more liquid smoke to taste for a deeper smoky taste and tweak the spices if need me.

I’ve never been a big fan of BBQ sauce but have enjoyed this on my veggies. I’ve been converted to the joys of BBQ sauce and a jar of this now resides in my fridge on a permanent basis.
