Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Apricot preserves
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the apricot preserves, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
Add the garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly incorporated.
Pour in the water and stir. This helps achieve the desired consistency for the BBQ sauce.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken as it cooks.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more vinegar for tanginess, more brown sugar for sweetness, or additional spices for heat.
Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. Let it cool slightly before transferring it to a jar or container.
Use immediately to glaze grilled meats like chicken, ribs, or pork chops, or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
