How to Make Master Class Barbecue Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, liquid smoke, and black pepper.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, and continue to simmer for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before tasting and adjusting seasonings as needed. You may want to add more cayenne pepper for extra heat, or more brown sugar for sweetness.
  5. Once cooled, transfer the barbecue sauce to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
