How to Make Dave's Barbecue Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, ketchup, hoisin sauce, chili sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke until the brown sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Pour the mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until slightly thickened, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to deepen. Enjoy!
  5. (Optional) For a smoother consistency, blend the sauce with an immersion blender before chilling.
