- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients and measuring tools. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
- In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well incorporated.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously to prevent burning and ensure even heating.

- Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Adjust seasonings as needed.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the BBQ sauce cool for 5-10 minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.
- Transfer the sauce to a clean glass jar or airtight container. Allow it to cool completely before sealing.
- Store the BBQ sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The flavors will continue to develop and meld together over time.
- Serve the sauce with grilled meats, as a dipping sauce, or use as a marinade for a delicious barbecue experience.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the most vibrant flavor profile.
- Whisk ingredients thoroughly to ensure smooth, even consistency.
- Stir continuously while simmering to prevent burning and achieve perfect texture.
- Taste and adjust seasonings gradually—you can always add more, but can't take away.
- Allow the sauce to cool completely to let flavors meld and intensify.
- For deeper flavor, consider letting the sauce sit in the refrigerator overnight before first use.
- Experiment with adding a splash of bourbon or a pinch of smoked paprika for extra complexity.
- Store in a clean, airtight glass container to maintain freshness and flavor.
