How to Make Pancho Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of ketchup and 1 cup of chili sauce. Simmer over medium heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is noticeably reduced in volume and has thickened slightly.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of white vinegar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of prepared horseradish, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or more, to taste). Stir well to combine.
  3. Continue to cook for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of mayonnaise. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Carefully pour the Pancho Sauce into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to fully develop. Enjoy for months to come!
