Easy Homemade BBQ Sauce
Description
Easy Homemade BBQ Sauce brings together common pantry ingredients to create a classic barbecue condiment with a blend of tangy, sweet, and savory notes. The base of ketchup and apple cider vinegar provides a familiar sharp and sweet flavor profile. Honey and brown sugar contribute to the sauce's sweetness and help with caramelization when cooked. Paprika and garlic powder introduce subtle smoky and aromatic elements. Honey mustard adds a mild tang and depth, while Worcestershire sauce provides umami complexity.
The sauce is prepared by combining all ingredients in a saucepan and simmering gently for an hour, which allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken without burning. This slow simmering imparts a well-integrated taste and a smooth texture, making it suitable for slathering on meats or serving as a dipping sauce.
After cooking, the sauce is cooled completely and stored in a sealed container, which keeps well up to two weeks. This makes it convenient for batch preparation, ready to enhance barbecued dishes or sandwiches whenever needed.
Ingredients
- 2 cups ketchup
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tbsp paprika
- 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp honey mustard
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients for the BBQ sauce.
- Place all the ingredients In a saucepan over medium-heat and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and then turn the heat down as low as possible. Cook the sauce for 60 minutes, stirring it occasionally so it doesn't stick to the pan.
- Allow the sauce to cool down completely and transfer it to a sealed container for up to two weeks. Enjoy!
