Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and hot sauce (if using).
Stir the ingredients together until fully combined and smooth.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the saucepan and stir to thin the sauce slightly.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once the sauce begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed, adding a touch more vinegar for tanginess, sugar for sweetness, or hot sauce for heat.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly.
Transfer the sauce to a jar or container. Use immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to one week in an airtight container.
