Calories: 71kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- ½ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup molasses not blackstrap
- ½ apple juice
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. black pepper freshly ground
- ½ tsp cayenne powder
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients into a sauce pan. Use a whisk to blend into a uniform sauce.
- Bring to a simmer.
- Taste the BBQ sauce and add apple cider vinegar to your liking. For me this depends on what I’m serving it with. Add no vinegar for a super sweet sauce or all of the vinegar for a more balanced sauce.
- Remove from heat after it comes to a simmer.
- Put lid on sauce and let cool.
- When it is cool enough to handle, pour the sauce into mason jars or squeeze bottles.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, allow sauce to simmer until thickened to your preference. Once thickened, removed from heat and continue following directions.
