Ingredients
- 2 cups ketchup
- 0.5 cups apple cider vinegar
- 0.75 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups molasses
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons liquid smoke (optional)
- 0.25 cups water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, molasses, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly to prevent the sugars from sticking to the bottom.
Step 3
Once the mixture is simmering, reduce the heat to low and stir in the Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Mix until the spices are fully incorporated.
Step 4
Add the liquid smoke (if using) and water, stirring to combine. Adjust the consistency by adding a little more water if the sauce is too thick.
Step 5
Allow the sauce to simmer on low heat for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the flavors meld together beautifully.
Step 6
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed—add a pinch more cayenne for extra heat or a splash of vinegar for more tanginess.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the BBQ sauce cool slightly. Pour into a clean jar or airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Step 8
Enjoy this sauce slathered on your favorite grilled or smoked meats, veggies, or as a dipping sauce!
