Memphis Bbq Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 cups ketchup
• 0.75 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup water
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp molasses
• 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp dry mustard
• 1.5 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

1. Whisk together the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, water, brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and kosher salt in a medium saucepan.
2. Set the pan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring every few minutes, until glossy and slightly thickened, 12–15 minutes; it should lightly coat the back of a spoon but drip freely.
4. Remove from heat and let cool 5–10 minutes before using warm as a mop or finishing sauce, or cool completely and refrigerate in a sealed jar for up to 2 weeks.
