Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Whisk all ingredients together in a medium saucepan over medium heat until smooth.
  2. Bring to a bubble, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
  3. Remove from heat and taste, adjusting salt, pepper, or vinegar to your liking.
  4. Serve warm over smoked meats or cool and store in the fridge for later.

Notes

This sauce tastes even better after a night in the fridge, so make it ahead and reheat gently. If it thickens too much after chilling, stir in a teaspoon of water or vinegar to loosen it.
