  2. Add 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or to taste), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons of cold butter for a richer, smoother texture and enhanced flavor. Let cool slightly before serving or storing.
