Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder

- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon liquid smoke

Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, dark brown sugar, and molasses over medium heat. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Add Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, ground mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and liquid smoke to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Pour in the water to slightly thin the sauce. Adjust water amount based on your desired sauce consistency.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens to your liking, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed, such as adding more salt, cayenne, or brown sugar to balance the flavors.
Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before transferring it to a clean jar or container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Use as a barbecue glaze, marinade, or condiment!
