Heather's Helpful Hints
- Storage: Store your sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. It's best not to leave it out at room temperature because of the butter.
- Hot Sauce: Make sure you use Louisiana-style hot sauce in this recipe. This brand is unique because it uses cayenne peppers, vinegar, and salt. The vinegar gives the sauce a distinctive tang that is unmistakable.
- Sugar: You can decrease the amount of granulated sugar in the recipe if you find that the sauce is too sweet.
