How to Make Cider Vinegar Barbecue Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
