In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and molasses. Stir well to blend the ingredients.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, liquid smoke, and salt. Stir until fully incorporated.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. For more sweetness, add a bit more honey or brown sugar. For extra heat, increase the cayenne pepper slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.
Transfer the cooled BBQ sauce to an airtight container or mason jar and refrigerate. The flavors will deepen and blend over time.
Use as a basting sauce for grilled meats, a dipping sauce, or a marinade. Enjoy!
