Cooking Instructions

1. Combine Ingredients

In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

2. Heat the Sauce

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture well until all ingredients are fully combined.

3. Simmer

Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

4. Adjust Flavor

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. If you like it spicier, add hot sauce to taste.

5. Cool and Store

Once the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded, remove it from heat. Allow it to cool before transferring it to a clean jar or bottle.
