Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon chili powder (optional, for a spicier kick)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce over medium heat.
Stir the mixture until the brown sugar dissolves completely, ensuring a smooth consistency.
Add the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and chili powder (if using), and stir well to incorporate the spices.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the barbecue sauce cool for a minute.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed (e.g., add more sugar for sweetness, vinegar for tanginess, or chili powder for heat).
Serve immediately with your favorite grilled items or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
