BBQ Sauce Directions

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Tomato Paste

    Add the tomato paste to the saucepan and mix well until fully incorporated with the sugar-water mixture.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Vinegar and Sauces

    Pour in the apple cider vinegar and Worcestershire sauce, stirring continuously to ensure all ingredients blend together.

  4. 4

    Season the Sauce

    Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the mixture. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and allow it to simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Cool and Store

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let the BBQ sauce cool down. Once cooled, transfer to a jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
