Ingredients

• 1 cup Ketchup
• 0.25 cup Peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
• 0.33 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, peanut butter, and water. Stir well until the peanut butter is completely blended with the ketchup.

Step 2

Add apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and brown sugar to the saucepan. Mix until smooth.

Step 3

Sprinkle in smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir to combine evenly.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.

Step 5

Once it begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired (you can add more honey for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess).

Step 7

Transfer the sauce to a clean jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Step 8

Use this Nutty BBQ Sauce to glaze grilled meats, as a dipping sauce, or spread it on sandwiches for an extra flavor kick.
