Smoky Barbecue Sauce

Smoky Barbecue Sauce

EverydaySweetened

Smoky barbecue sauce is a sweetened condiment central to American grilling culture, featuring a complex blend of tangy, sweet, and wood-fired flavors. Typically made with tomato paste, vinegar, and sweeteners like molasses or brown sugar, it derives its signature smokiness from liquid smoke or smoked paprika. The thick, sticky texture clings well to grilled meats, though its high added sugar and sodium content requires mindful consumption for those monitoring intake.
