I'm a fan of making my own sauces, but like I talked about with rubs, it's not always worth the payoff, to me, to go through all the prep myself. If you need a sauce in a pinch and only have a bottle of the cheap stuff around and you want to kick it up a notch, here's one suggestion.
4 parts of your favorite cheap-o off the shelf store sauce
1 part cider vinegar
add your hot sauce of choice to taste
Mix well
That's it. The vinegar and hot sauce go a long way to cut the cloying sweetness of your average brand name sauce. It also thins it out a bit so if you want to put it in a squeeze bottle to put on sandwiches, it comes out a lot easier. Maybe it's me, but sauce you can stand a drumstick up in is overrated.
