For a dipping sauce: Increase the brown sugar to 1 cup and substitute white vinegar for apple cider vinegar to achieve a sweeter, sharper flavor profile. This sauce is quite potent, so use it sparingly when basting to avoid overpowering your dish. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. The flavors will continue to develop over time.
