Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 0.25 cup pineapple juice
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce.
Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and all ingredients are well combined.
Add the smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, ground mustard, hot sauce, black pepper, salt, liquid smoke, and pineapple juice to the saucepan.
Stir well to incorporate all the seasonings into the mixture.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low. Allow the sauce to simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to thicken and develop its flavors.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as needed (e.g., more sugar for sweetness, more vinegar for tanginess, or more hot sauce for spice).
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the BBQ sauce cool to room temperature.
Transfer the sauce to a clean, airtight jar or container for storage. It can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
Use the sauce as a glaze for grilling, a dipping sauce, or as an ingredient in your favorite BBQ recipes!
