Ingredients
- 2 cups Ketchup
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Hot sauce
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
Step 2
Add smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, salt, and hot sauce to the saucepan. Mix thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.
Step 3
Pour in the water to slightly thin the sauce and prevent it from sticking to the saucepan. Stir well.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Step 5
Once the sauce begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if desired (add more hot sauce for extra heat or more honey for sweetness).
Step 7
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the BBQ sauce to a clean jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 9
Use it as a marinade, baste over grilled meats, or serve as a dipping sauce!
