Sweet and Spicy Tomato Glaze

This easy glaze is so much more than “just” a coating for meat. Use it as your house BBQ sauce, serve it as a dip, and of course, it works well on anything from ribs to chicken to tofu. It’s so delicious that it might be worth planning an entire potluck around this sauce, which is a perfect foil for rich and crispy fried chicken and cold potato salad. Shopping tip: tomato paste in a tube is a game-changer for home cooks. Instead of needing to transfer the remaining tomato paste from a can into a storage container, the tube stays fresh long term in the fridge and you can squeeze out what you need.
