For a sweeter sauce, consider adding a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or stevia to taste. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to blend the ingredients together after simmering. Adjust the amount of liquid smoke to your preference. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more to taste if you desire a smokier flavor. Experiment with other spices like chili powder, cumin, or black pepper to create your own unique flavor profile.
