Mix the grape jelly, BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a medium saucepan.

In order to ensure that the flavors blend together flawlessly, stir everything together until well mixed.

After putting the saucepan over medium heat and bringing the contents to a simmer, lower the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for ten to fifteen minutes.

The sauce will thicken slightly, and the flavors will become more concentrated.

After simmering, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. This is your chance to customize the sauce to your liking. If you prefer a spicier kick, feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper.

After taking the sauce off the stove, let it cool somewhat. It’s now ready to be used as a glaze for your BBQ meats or as a dipping sauce for your favorite snacks.
