• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground mustard
• 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

Add the apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and honey. Mix well to combine the wet ingredients.

Step 3

Whisk in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until all spices are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (add more honey for sweetness, vinegar for tanginess, or cayenne for extra heat).

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve the BBQ sauce warm or at room temperature with your favorite grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a dipping sauce.
