Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the apple cider vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and all the flavors have melded together.
-
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings to your preference. Add more hot sauce for extra heat, a bit more brown sugar for sweetness, or a pinch of salt for more savory depth.
-
Once you're satisfied with the taste, remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly before using it. You can either brush the sauce onto your grilled meats during the last few minutes of cooking or serve it on the side for dipping and drizzling.
-
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
