Equipment
- Medium saucepan
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Jar or bottle for storage
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow mustard
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dry mustard powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 to 2 tablespoons ketchup
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Mix The Ingredients;
- Grab a medium saucepan and toss in the yellow mustard, honey or molasses, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and all the spices you’re using.
Stir Until Smooth;
- Set the pan over medium heat and whisk everything together until it’s nice and smooth and the sugar has fully dissolved.
Let It Simmer;
- Turn the heat down low and let the sauce bubble gently for about 8 to 10 minutes. Give it a stir every now and then so nothing sticks or burns. This step helps the flavors come together and the sauce to thicken just a bit.
Thin It Out If Needed;
- If the sauce feels too thick, add a little water a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the consistency you like.
Cool And Store;
- Once it’s done, take it off the heat and let it cool. Pour it into a clean jar or bottle and pop it in the fridge. It’ll keep well for up to two weeks.
