Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Whisk all ingredients together in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat and simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  2. Taste and add more cayenne or hot sauce if you want extra heat. Simmer for 2 minutes more.
  3. Use the sauce right away as a glaze for grilled meats or serve it warm alongside your main dish as a dipping sauce.

Notes

If you are not using the sauce immediately, let it cool completely and transfer it to a jar. The flavors deepen overnight, so making it a day ahead is always a good idea.
