Gather Your Ingredients: You’ll need 1 cup of ketchup, 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of molasses, 1/4 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce, 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and optionally hot sauce or cayenne pepper for heat.

  3. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

  4. Cook: Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened slightly.

  5. Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick for your liking, you can add a bit of water to thin it out.
