How to Make Barbecue Rib Sauce

  1. Dice 1 medium yellow onion. Saute the diced onion in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 cup apple juice to the sauteed onions.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Best served warm over your favorite ribs!
