Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp mustard powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Add all ingredients to a small saucepan and whisk together over medium-low heat until smooth and the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring every couple of minutes, for 15 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats a spoon.
  3. Remove from heat, taste, and adjust salt, vinegar, or brown sugar as needed. Pour into a serving bowl and serve warm.

Notes

This sauce genuinely tastes better made a day ahead, so don't feel like you need to make it right before dinner. Store it sealed in the fridge and it keeps for 2 weeks. If you double the batch, give it an extra 5 to 7 minutes of simmer time to reach the same thickness.
