How to Make Toddler Bbq Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup apple jelly, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional), and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika.
  2. Heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until the apple jelly is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  3. **Important!** Allow the sauce to cool completely before serving to children. The sauce will be hot and sticky while it's cooking.
  4. Once cooled, serve as a dipping sauce for chicken strips, meatballs, sausages, or use it as a glaze for your toddler's favorite protein.
  5. For larger quantities, simply multiply the ingredients proportionally. Double, triple, or even quadruple the recipe to suit your needs!
