Step 1

In a medium pot, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, ½ cup (120mL) water, brown sugar, mustard, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, salt, paprika, garlic and onion powders, and pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 2

Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, whisking frequently, for about 15 minutes until thickened. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Add a few dashes of hot sauce, if you like it spicier.

Step 3

Transfer to a storage container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
