Delicious BBQ Sauce

This BBQ sauce is the perfect blend of sweetness, tanginess, and spice. It’s versatile enough to use on ribs, chicken, or as a dipping sauce for your favorite snacks. Let’s dive into the ingredients and get started!

Ingredients

• 2 cups ketchup
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a large pot, combine all the ingredients. Stir them together until everything is well mixed.
2. Heat the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help the flavors meld together.
3. Once the sauce has thickened slightly, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
4. Using a funnel, pour the sauce into pre-sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth to ensure a good seal.
5. Seal the jars with lids and rings, tightening them until they are just snug.
6. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for about 15 minutes to seal them properly. Make sure the jars are fully submerged in water during this process.
7. After processing, remove the jars and let them cool completely at room temperature. You should hear a satisfying pop as the lids seal!

And there you have it! Your homemade BBQ sauce is ready to be enjoyed or given as gifts. This recipe not only fills your pantry with delicious sauce but also brings joy as you share your culinary creation with loved ones. Get your apron on and let’s get canning!
