• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Honey
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
• 0.25 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk together until well blended.

Step 2

Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using) into the saucepan. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.

Step 4

Once it reaches a simmer, reduce the heat to low and stir in the water for desired consistency. Let the sauce simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 5

Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if needed, adding more salt, sugar, or vinegar to balance the flavors to your liking.

Step 6

Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 7

Transfer the BBQ sauce to a clean, airtight jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Step 8

Serve warm or cold as a glaze, marinade, or dipping sauce for your favorite grilled meats, vegetables, or sides.
