Ingredients

• 1 cup ketchup
• 0.5 cup dark brown sugar
• 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, dark brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and molasses over medium heat.

Step 2

Stir the mixture until fully combined and the sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan.

Step 4

Slowly stir in the water to reach your desired sauce consistency.

Step 5

Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, and let it cook for 10-12 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, sugar, or hot sauce to your preference.

Step 7

Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before using.

Step 8

Transfer to a jar or airtight container for storage. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
