How to Make The Frugal Gourmet S Southern Barbecue Sauce
- In a large saucepan, whisk together the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and liquid smoke (or smoked paprika).
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 60-80 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will become.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely before transferring to an airtight jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
