Elevate your barbecue experience with this creamy and indulgent Fondue Barbeque Sauce! Combining smoky, tangy, and sweet flavors with the luscious richness of melted cheddar cheese and heavy cream, this sauce is a versatile twist on classic BBQ. Aromatics like garlic and bold seasonings such as smoked paprika, ground cumin, and mustard are perfectly balanced by the tang of apple cider vinegar and Worcestershire sauce, while honey adds a touch of sweetness. Smooth and velvety, this sauce serves beautifully as a dip for grilled meats, skewers, or even fondue-style appetizers. Ready in just 30 minutes, itβs the ultimate crowd-pleaser for any cookout or cozy gathering.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sautΓ© for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Stir in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, and ground mustard. Cook for about 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
Lower the heat and add the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and honey. Stir until the ingredients are combined.
Add the water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Gradually stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer for another 3 minutes.
Turn the heat to low and slowly add the grated cheddar cheese, a small handful at a time, stirring until fully melted and incorporated.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Serve warm as a dip for grilled meats, skewers, or fondue-style dishes.
