Equipment
- Medium saucepan
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk or spoon
- Stove
- Glass jar or airtight container
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup 240 g
- 1/4 cup molasses 85 g
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 120 g
- 1/4 cup honey 85 g
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 60 g
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 30 g
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce 30 g
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder 8 g
- 1 tablespoon onion powder 8 g
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 2 g
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1 g
- 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 g
Instructions
- Pour a saucepan on medium heat and start by adding ketchup, molasses, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Stir everything together slowly until it turns into a smooth, even mixture.
- Next, pour in Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard. Keep stirring so all the flavors melt into each other without any separation.
- Now sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir well and keep the mixture moving so the spices don’t clump and everything blends nicely.
- Let the sauce come to a light simmer. Then reduce the heat and allow it to cook gently for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring from time to time so it doesn’t stick or burn.
- After simmering, taste the sauce. If you want it sweeter, add a little more honey. If you prefer more tang, add a small splash of vinegar and mix again.
- Turn off the heat and let the sauce cool down completely. Once cooled, pour it into a clean jar or bottle and keep it stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
