St. Louis Bbq Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 cups ketchup
• 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.25 cup brown sugar – packed
• 0.25 cup yellow mustard
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
• 0.5 tsp celery seed
• 0.5 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

1. Whisk the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, water, brown sugar, yellow mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium saucepan until smooth.
2. Stir in the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, celery seed, and kosher salt until evenly combined.
3. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and glossy, 15–20 minutes; the sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
4. Remove from heat and let stand 10 minutes to settle and thicken slightly. Use warm for glazing during the last few minutes of grilling, or cool completely and refrigerate in a sealed jar for up to 2 weeks.
