Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, dark brown sugar, and honey over medium heat.
Stir the mixture together until the sugar is fully dissolved and the ingredients are well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, smoked paprika, ground mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and ground black pepper to the saucepan.
Stir the spices into the mixture until evenly distributed.
Pour in the water to thin the sauce slightly and stir again.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Let the sauce simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool for 5 minutes.
Transfer the sauce to a jar or container and allow it to cool completely before sealing.
Use immediately as a glaze for grilled proteins or refrigerate for up to 1 week for later use.
