How to Make Barbecue Sauce Bar B Que

  1. Melt 1/4 cup (57g) of butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Sauté 1 medium onion (chopped) for 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Add 1 cup (240ml) ketchup, 1/2 cup (120ml) apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup (60ml) brown sugar, 2 tablespoons (30ml) Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon (15ml) smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon (5ml) garlic powder, 1 teaspoon (5ml) onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml) black pepper. Bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 50-60 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced to your desired thickness and the flavors have melded beautifully. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat and adjust seasonings to taste. Add more brown sugar for sweetness, vinegar for tang, or cayenne for heat.
  6. Use to baste meats and poultry while grilling or roasting, or serve as a delicious dipping sauce.
