How to Make Bbq Sauce

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 cup water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 6-8 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. You can add more brown sugar for sweetness, vinegar for tang, or cayenne for heat.
  5. Transfer the BBQ sauce to a clean jar or container. Allow to cool completely before sealing and refrigerating. Enjoy your homemade BBQ sauce for up to 2 months.
