BBQ Jalapeno-Paprika Sauce
This BBQ Jalapeno-Paprika Sauce is a perfect marriage of classic American BBQ sauce and Mexican jalapeno peppers. The jalapeno's natural spiciness wonderfully balances the BBQ sauce's sweet-smoky character, while the lime adds a touch of freshness. In Mexican and Texan cuisine, the jalapeno pepper is one of the most commonly used chili varieties, providing a mildly spicy yet pleasantly flavorful touch to dishes. This BBQ version was created to perfectly complement grilled meats, vegetables, or even burgers. If you crave an even fierier flavor, try adding a little habanero pepper or sprinkling in extra chili flakes!

1
Remove the stems and seeds from the jalapeno peppers. Finely chop them, or blend until smooth if you prefer a creamier sauce.

Peel and grate the garlic to ensure its flavor is fully incorporated into the sauce.
3
In a medium saucepan, combine the BBQ sauce, soy sauce, and honey. Heat over low heat to allow the flavors to meld together.
