Ingredients
- 200 g (¾ cup) tomato ketchup
- 50 g (3½ tbsp) brown sugar
- 60 ml (4 tbsp) apple cider vinegar
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) Worcestershire sauce
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 tsp)
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- 60 ml (¼ cup) water
Instructions
- Add the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, and water to a medium saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the brown sugar has completely dissolved.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens. Add a little extra water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the BBQ sauce to cool completely.
- Transfer the cooled sauce to a clean glass jar or airtight container and refrigerate.
- Serve as a dipping sauce, sandwich spread, or glaze for grilled chicken, ribs, burgers, vegetables, or your favorite BBQ dishes.
Tips
- For a smokier flavor, add ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika or a few drops of liquid smoke.
- For extra heat, stir in a pinch of cayenne pepper or your favorite hot sauce.
- The flavor develops even more after chilling overnight.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks in a sealed container.
