Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow mustard
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Stir the ingredients together until well blended.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer while stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and stir in the butter and water until the butter is fully melted and the sauce reaches a smooth consistency.
Allow the sauce to simmer on low heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the flavors meld together.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
Use immediately as a glaze, basting sauce, or on the side as a dipping sauce, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
