This homemade BBQ sauce boasts a delightful blend of sweetness and spice, making it an ideal accompaniment for meats, vegetables, and even as a dipping sauce for your favorite snacks.

Ingredients

1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.
Stir the ingredients over medium heat until the brown sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well blended.
Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper into the pan, mixing thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of spices.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Once your desired thickness is reached, remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool before transferring to a jar or an airtight container.
Store the BBQ sauce in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, allowing the flavors to deepen over time.
