Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow mustard
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.333 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and honey. Whisk together until smooth and well mixed.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Step 3
Once simmering, add the Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 8-10 minutes, stirring often. This will help the flavors meld together and the sauce to slightly thicken.
Step 5
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary, such as adding a touch more honey for sweetness or more vinegar for tanginess, based on your preference.
Step 6
Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Step 7
Transfer the sauce to a jar or airtight container for storage. It can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
Step 8
Use the sauce to baste meats during grilling or smoking or serve as a finishing sauce for a bold, tangy kick.
