Homemade Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Sauce ### Ingredients:

1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

In a medium saucepan, combine all the ingredients: ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir well until everything is fully mixed together.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. This step will help meld the flavors together and creates a rich sauce.
Once it starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low. Allow the sauce to cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cooks.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more brown sugar for sweetness, cayenne for heat, or salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
After the sauce has cool, pour it into a clean jar or container. It can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks, making it a perfect make-ahead option for your next barbecue.
