Ingredients
- 2 cups Tomato ketchup
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 5 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 5 tablespoons White sugar
- 0.5 cup Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato ketchup, water, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to mix well.
Step 2
Add the brown sugar, white sugar, and lemon juice to the saucepan, stirring until the sugars dissolve completely.
Step 3
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and kosher salt.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Once the sauce begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For a sweeter sauce, add an additional tablespoon of brown sugar. For more heat, increase the cayenne pepper.
Step 7
Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the sauce to a clean, airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 9
Use this BBQ sauce to baste ribs, chicken, or as a dipping sauce for your favorite grilled foods.
