- 1 1/4 C ketchup*
- 1 C brown sugar
- 1/4 C molasses
- 1/4 C apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 C plus 2 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 2 1/2 tsp ground mustard
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
In a small bowl, mix together mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper. Press out any clumps.
In a medium pot, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, worcestershire, vinegar, and 1/4 C water over medium heat.
Whisk in spices and bring to a low boil. Taste for seasoning and add more vinegar or sugar to taste if necessary. Continue to simmer for about 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch and 2 Tbsp water. Mix until cornstarch dissolves and whisk into the bbq sauce until thick. Be sure to whisk as you're pouring the cornstarch mixture in to avoid any clumping.
Taste again for seasoning, add if necessary. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
