Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until well blended.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir to incorporate the spices evenly.
Step 3
Pour in the water to thin out the sauce slightly and mix well.
Step 4
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 6
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more brown sugar for sweetness, or a dash of cayenne for extra heat.
Step 7
Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly before using.
Step 8
Use the BBQ sauce immediately to glaze pork during grilling or smoking, or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Step 9
Store any leftover BBQ sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
