Ingredients
2 cups Tomato Ketchup
1/2 cup Dark Brown Sugar, packed
1/4 cup Molasses
1/3 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tablespoon Smoked Paprika
1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
Instructions
Whisk the ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, and vinegar in a medium stainless steel saucepan over medium heat.
Stir the mixture consistently until the brown sugar dissolves entirely into the liquid base.
Add the smoked paprika, liquid smoke, garlic powder, and onion powder to the saucepan.
Reduce the heat to low to allow the sauce to simmer gently for fifteen minutes.
Remove the sauce from heat once it thickens and coats the back of a metal spoon.
Notes
Continuously whisk the ingredients during the initial heating phase to prevent the sugar from scorching. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
