Sugar is not just for the sweet, it is also for the savory! Like for instance a good sloppy joe. The question is when you are making your own bbq sauce, should it be roasted or steamed. I personally prefer roasted bbq sauce, because it gives it a little bit of a texture bite, whereas steamed bbq sauce is always very consistent texture throughout the solution. If you are going to roast your bbq sauce, be sure to give it a little toast while you are at it.
Im going to have some right now in fact!
