Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow mustard
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.333 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Whisk together until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and stir in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the sauce on low heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together and thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
Transfer the sauce to a glass jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to two weeks.
Serve the sauce as a glaze, marinade, or dipping sauce for your favorite barbecue dishes.
