Ingredients

1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir the mixture until well combined.
Add in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Keep stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken. You can adjust the heat level by adding more cayenne pepper if you prefer it spicier.
Once done, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate. It can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks, but believe me, it won’t last that long!

This homemade BBQ sauce is not only easy to make but also incredibly versatile. You can slather it on ribs, chicken, or veggies straight from the grill.
