Preparation:

Saute Aromatics:

Create the Sauce:
- Stir in the barbecue sauce, both types of sugar, liquid smoke, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and salt.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld together, for about 20 minutes. If you prefer a thicker consistency, cook for a bit longer until it reaches your desired thickness.

Blend to Perfection:
- Allow the sauce to cool slightly before transferring it to a blender or food processor.
- Blend the sauce until smooth and velvety. Be cautious when blending hot liquids; start at a low speed and gradually increase.

Adjust Heat Level:
- If you prefer a milder sauce, omit the Tabasco sauce. Conversely, for an extra kick, increase the amount according to your taste preferences.

Chill and Serve:
- Transfer the blended sauce to a clean, airtight container.
- Refrigerate the sauce overnight to allow the flavors to fully develop and intensify.
