- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, cider vinegar, honey, molasses, and brown sugar. Stir until well mixed.
Add the liquid smoke, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
Pour in the water to thin out the sauce slightly, making sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
