Honey Bbq Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 cups ketchup
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.33 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 tsp ground mustard
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the ketchup, honey, apple cider vinegar, and water until smooth.
2. Whisk in the brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and kosher salt until evenly combined.
3. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and simmer until glossy and slightly thickened, 10–15 minutes; the sauce should coat the back of a spoon and bubble slowly.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed with a touch more vinegar for tang, honey for sweetness, or a pinch of salt.
5. Let cool 10 minutes; the sauce will thicken further as it cools. Use warm for glazing or cool to room temperature and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
