Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard over medium heat.
Stir in the honey, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the liquid smoke for a hint of smokiness, then season with salt to taste.
Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the barbecue sauce cool to room temperature.
Use immediately for grilling, as a marinade, or as a dipping sauce. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
