How to Make Sweet Heat Bbq Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-low heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by about half, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.
- Let the sauce cool slightly before transferring it to an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (Can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.)
- Generously brush your favorite protein with the sauce during the last 5-10 minutes of baking for a perfectly caramelized finish!
