My First Attempt at Making Homemade BBQ Sauce

With all the extra soda I have lying around that I shouldn't be drinking so I can (attempt to) lose weight, I decided to attempt to use some to make homemade BBQ sauce (because that's a thing apparently!). I took the recipe from the Butter Be Ready website; I think the amount of time to simmer should be closer to 45 minutes if not an hour since after half an hour the BBQ sauce didn't coat the back of a spoon all that well (unless it's something with my stove top or the commercial BBQ sauces have thickening agents that I should look to invest into in the future). Also the 1/2 tsp of onion powder should be lowered to 1/4 tsp unless you like the strong taste of onion. And yes, I am insane for wearing a white t shirt while making homemade BBQ sauce that could easily stain said shirt! Make sure to leave a like and follow the channel if you enjoyed!
