Notes
Adjust Sweetness: Use less grape jelly if you prefer a tangier flavor. Alternate Sauces: Swap barbecue sauce for chili sauce or a blend of ketchup and hot sauce for a spicy twist. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheating: Warm gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Add a splash of water if the sauce thickens. Double the recipe for larger crowds, ensuring your slow cooker can handle the volume.
