Ingredients

2 cups ketchup
6 Tablespoon molasses
6 Tablespoon brown sugar
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon liquid smoke

Instructions

Add ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, chili powder, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, salt, and liquid smoke to a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir to combine.
Allow the mixture to gently cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and use in your favorite BBQ recipe.

Notes

This bbq sauce has a slight kick to it because of the cayenne. Feel free to omit to keep it kick free.
Make sure your heat is set to medium-low heat to avoid burning your sauce or scorching your pan.
This recipe as written makes a little more than 2 cups of sauce. It can be doubled or tripled or cut in half. If doubling or tripling, increase the heat time by about 5 minutes.
This sauce can be made ahead and stored. It will last in the refrigerator for about 1 week in an airtight container. I store ours in mason jars.
