🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 1 cup ketchup
• 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
• 0.25 cup water

📝 Instructions

6 steps

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).

2. Add the water to the saucepan and stir all the ingredients together until well combined.

3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

4. Reduce the heat to low, stirring occasionally, and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

5. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly.

6. Use the sauce immediately to baste meats, poultry, or vegetables while grilling, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
