Cookout Sauce Recipe For BBQ Lovers
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
- A dash of hot sauce optional, for those who like it spicy
Instructions
Combine The Ingredients
- In a medium saucepan, mix together ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
Season And Simmer
- Add smoked paprika, garlic powder, mustard powder, ground black pepper, and salt to the saucepan. If you’re a fan of heat, this is the time to add that dash of hot sauce. Make sure all the ingredients are well combined by giving the mixture a good stir.
Let It Cook
- After bringing the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, lower the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 30 minutes. The sauce will thicken and the flavors will meld together beautifully.
Cool And Serve
- Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove it from the heat and let it cool. After cooling, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Your Ultimate Cookout Sauce is now ready to complement your grilled meats, and vegetables, or as a dipping sauce.
