Ingredients

• 1 cup ketchup
• 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons water (if needed to thin)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and molasses over medium heat.

Step 2

Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves and it comes to a gentle simmer.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Whisk the ingredients together until fully combined.

Step 5

Simmer the sauce over low heat, stirring frequently, for about 10–15 minutes until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.

Step 6

Add the liquid smoke and black pepper, stirring well to incorporate.

Step 7

If you find the sauce too thick, gradually stir in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Use as a marinade for meats, a basting sauce during grilling, or serve on the side as a dipping sauce.

Step 10
