Recipe Note
The amount of cayenne pepper to add too the sauce is a matter of personal preference, we recommended starting with a small pinch and adding more to suit your taste. The goal is to achieve your desired level of heat without overpowering the sauce's complex sweet and savoury flavours.
It is much easier to add more spice than to reduce the heat once it's mixed through the sauce.
