Ingredients
- 2 cups Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, and ketchup. Whisk until fully blended.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 3
Add the brown sugar, hot sauce, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir the mixture well to dissolve the sugar and evenly distribute the spices.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly.
Step 6
Pour the sauce into a heat-resistant container or mason jar. It can be used immediately as a mop sauce for barbecuing or allowed to cool completely for storage.
Step 7
Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake or stir before using, as the vinegar and spices may settle.
