Homemade Barbecue Sauce
This recipe is so easy and delicious, you may never go back to a store-bought bottle.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup tomato sauce
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, light or dark brown
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, hot or mild
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 3 tablespoons molasses (not sorghum)
- 2 teaspoons golden mustard, not yellow mustard, I like Gulden's brand
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke, optional
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Stirring often, simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the sugar to melt and the flavors to marry.
- Serve warm with barbecue, burgers, etc.
Notes
The sauce can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. It can be frozen up to 6 months in the freezer, in a freezer-safe, airtight container.
