Kentucky Black Bbq Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 cup distilled white vinegar
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. Combine the distilled white vinegar, water, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a nonreactive saucepan and whisk to dissolve the sugar.
2. Bring to a bare simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 3–5 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently 10–15 minutes until the sauce darkens, smells mellow rather than sharp, and tastes well-blended.
4. Remove from the heat and let cool 10 minutes. Use warm as a mop for barbecue or cool completely for bottling.
5. Store refrigerated up to 1 month; rewarm before serving.
