Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Wooden spoon
  • Whisk
  • Mason jars or airtight containers for storage

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust to taste
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, pour in the water, light corn syrup, and ketchup. Whisk gently to blend the mixture until smooth.
  • Stir in the tomato paste, brown sugar, molasses, and apple cider vinegar. Let the sugar dissolve completely while stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  • Add the yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke to the pan. These ingredients deepen the sauce’s tang and give it a signature smoky kick.
  • Sprinkle in the onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  • Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken, and the flavors will meld into a deep, complex blend.
