Homemade BBQ Sauce
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Ketchup
- 1/4 cup Water
- 3 Tablespoons Honey
- 2 Tablespoons Brown sugar (dark or light)
- 2 Teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 Teaspoon Distilled white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 2 Teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic and onion powder (each)
- 1 Teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt and pepper
Instructions
-
Gather all the ingredients and measure them into a saucepan.
-
Place the pan over medium-low heat and combine.
-
Simmer on low heat for about 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickened.
-
You will notice the thickness when you stir the sauce won't spread over.
-
Use immediately or pour into an airtight container allow to cool down completely, cover and store in the refrigerator to up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
-
I usually use it immediately and store the leftover. This was used for turkey.
Recipe Notes
I didn't use onion for this homemade BBQ sauce but if you want you can about a handful of onion saute it before adding the rest of the ingredients after the simmering is done you an immersion blender to puree the onion.
