Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup ketchup
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 6 ounce pineapple juice no sugar added
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dry mustard powder
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce any kind
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
- COMBINE: Add 1/3 cup water along with all the ingredients listed to a saucepan and whisk until smooth. When all the lumps have been worked out, bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- SIMMER: When it starts bubbling, lower the heat so it just simmers and allow it to cook for 5-7 minutes until it thickens. Keep in mind the sauce will thicken even further as it cools so you don’t want to cook it too much longer than that.
- SERVE: Brush on meats or poultry when grilling, as a sauce for pizza, or as a base for dips and dressings!
Notes
- If you prefer to make this smokier, you can add 1-3 teaspoons of liquid smoke to your taste. Start with 1 teaspoon and build as desired.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks
- To make the sauce vegan, be sure to use a Worcestershire sauce that is vegan friendly!
