  2. Stir in 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1 teaspoon hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference).
  3. Use an immersion blender or carefully transfer the mixture to a regular blender and blend until smooth.
  4. Add the zest of 1 lime and 1 (28 ounce) can of tomato sauce.
  5. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves and simmer for 1 minute more.
  7. Brush generously onto your favorite grilled chicken or ribs. Enjoy!
