BBQ Sauce Ingredients

Method

BBQ Sauce Directions

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients together: ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, and liquid smoke.

  2. 2

    Mix Thoroughly

    Using a whisk or a spoon, mix the ingredients together until they are fully combined and smooth. Ensure there are no lumps of brown sugar remaining.

  3. 3

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the BBQ sauce and adjust the flavor according to your preference. You can add more honey for sweetness, more vinegar for tanginess, or more cayenne for heat.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  5. 5

    Cool and Store

    Once thickened to your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
