To Conclude
Native Americans were already using sauces made from fruits and berries to accompany their grilled meats. European colonists also brought their own cooking and meat preparation techniques, such as smoking and slow cooking, which influenced the development of barbecue sauce.
When European colonists arrived in North America, they quickly adopted Native American barbecuing methods, and over time, the two cultures blended their culinary practices. This gave rise to various variations of barbecue sauces across the United States, each with its own ingredients and distinctive flavors.
