Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups ketchup
- 0.5 cups apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups honey
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cups water
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt to the saucepan. Stir until all the spices are fully incorporated.
Pour in the water to adjust the consistency of the sauce. Stir to mix.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15–20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. For a sweeter sauce, add more brown sugar or honey; for spicier kick, add an extra pinch of cayenne pepper.
Once the sauce reaches your desired consistency, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly before using.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
