Ingredients
- 1 14- oz bottle ketchup I like organic, but at least without high fructose corn syrup
- ½ cup water
- 6 tablespoons butter salted or unsalted
- 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce Lee & Perrins is gluten-free
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar packed (light or dark)
- 2 tablespoons liquid smoke I used hickory, but mesquite would be delicious too (Wright's is gluten-free)
- 3 teaspoons dry ground mustard
- 2 teaspoons celery salt or celery seeds
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Pour all ingredients into small - medium sized saucepan, heat slowly whisking occasionally until simmering. Allow to simmer until thickened about 10-15 minutes. If not using immediately, allow to cool and store in refrigerator in tightly sealed mason jar.
- Use on beef, pork, fish, chicken, baked beans, pizza, meatloaf, and many other suggestions in the post.
- May be frozen in freezer friendly container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in fridge or for several hours on counter, refrigerating once thawed.
