If you’re a fan of BBQ sauce, you may have tried a variety of flavors, but have you ever considered making your own vinegar-based BBQ sauce from scratch? It’s easier than you might think and can be customized to your liking. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the steps to make a tangy and delicious vinegar BBQ sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Step 1: Combine the ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

Note: For a spicier version of this sauce, you can add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes according to your taste.

Step 2: Cook the ingredients

Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized saucepan. Cook over medium heat for approximately 10-15 minutes or until the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

TIP: If you find that your sauce is too thick for your liking, add more apple cider vinegar until it reaches the desired consistency.

Step 3: Serve and enjoy!

Once the sauce has reached its desired consistency, remove it from heat and let it cool down slightly. You can then use the sauce immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

In conclusion

Making your own vinegar BBQ sauce from scratch is easier than you might think, and allows you to customize the sauce to your liking. Whether you prefer a sweet or spicy flavor, this recipe can be adjusted to suit your taste buds. So why not give it a try and impress your guests with your homemade BBQ sauce at your next cookout?
