Notes:
- Simmer the sauce over medium to medium-low heat and stir consistently to prevent the brown sugar from scorching on the bottom of the saucepan.
- Once the sugar has fully dissolved, the sauce will smooth out and thicken slightly as it cooks.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it with a small amount of water to reach your preferred consistency, especially if using it as a dipping sauce.
- This sauce can be made ahead and stored in a mason jar or airtight container in the fridge. Let it cool completely before sealing to avoid condensation.
- For best flavor, let the sauce sit for a few hours before using so the smoky and sweet elements can settle together.
