In a 1 1/2-2 quart saucepan, sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, in 1/4 cup bacon drippings until lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
Stir in 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Apply generously to your favorite meat or poultry just before serving.
