Ingredients

• 6 ounces Tomato paste
• 0.5 cups Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.75 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and honey over medium heat.

Step 2

Stir the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved and the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 3

Add Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan.

Step 4

Gradually stir in the water to achieve the desired consistency, ensuring the sauce is smooth and lump-free.

Step 5

Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.

Step 6

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more sugar for sweetness, vinegar for tanginess, or cayenne for heat.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.

Step 8
