Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups ketchup
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup molasses
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and molasses.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the brown sugar and molasses dissolve completely, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer, uncovered, for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Stir in the honey, liquid smoke, and fresh lemon juice during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed (e.g., more cayenne for heat or more sugar for sweetness).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving or storing.
Store the BBQ sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy with your favorite grilled or smoked dishes!
