Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Step 2
Add the water to the saucepan and stir all the ingredients together until well combined.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low, stirring occasionally, and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly.
Step 6
Use the sauce immediately to baste meats, poultry, or vegetables while grilling, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
