Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, dark brown sugar, and pineapple juice. Stir thoroughly until the ingredients are well blended.

Step 2

Add white vinegar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce to the mixture. Stir again to incorporate.

Add the spices: allspice, ground ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to ensure all the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh lime juice for a zesty finish.

Step 7

Allow the sauce to cool slightly before transferring it to an airtight container. Use it immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
