Ingredients

• 1 cup Ketchup
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 teaspoons Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce.

Step 2

Stir in smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add water to thin the mixture slightly and blend all the ingredients together until smooth.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir continuously to prevent any burning.

Step 5

Once the sauce begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken as it cooks.

Step 6

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, sugar, or chili powder based on your preference.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before transferring it to a jar or a container.

Step 8

Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
