- Stir in liquid smoke, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, habanero sauce, and molasses. Mix well.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
