Ingredients
- 2 cups ketchup
- 0.5 cups apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups molasses
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cups water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and molasses. Stir well to incorporate the ingredients.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir in the Worcestershire sauce and yellow mustard.
Step 3
Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir to blend the spices into the sauce.
Step 4
Pour in the water and continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 6
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed (e.g., more sugar for sweetness or cayenne for heat).
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly.
Step 8
Once cooled, transfer the sauce to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
