Ingredients

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce gluten-free if needed
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper more or less depending on spice level preference

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan and stir together until combined.
  2. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until all the sugar has dissolved and the ingredients are well combined (about 5 minutes). If you want a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered until it's thickened to your liking.
  3. Allow the sauce cool and serve as a dip or in any recipe that uses barbecue sauce. Store in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 6 months.

Notes

  • To make this paleo-compliant, use a natural sweetener (like maple syrup or honey) instead of brown sugar, compliant ketchup, and be sure to use liquid aminos or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
  • To make this gluten-free/grain-free, be sure to use GF soy sauce or liquid aminos.
