Suggestions
Get creative: Substitute honey for brown sugar for a different sweetness. Or swap out apple cider vinegar with balsamic for a deeper flavor. For a smoky punch, add a dash of liquid smoke. Garnish with fresh chopped chives or scallions for a splash of color. And remember, this sauce loves resting time in the fridge—it gets better as it chills!
