Description

Zippy barbecue sauce is made with ketchup, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, Tabasco sauce, and garlic.

Ingredients

1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1 Whisk ketchup, water, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, salt, hot pepper sauce, granulated garlic, and black pepper together in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat; cool completely.
2 Pour into a sterilized glass jar. Store, uncovered, in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to blend and reduce any sharpness from the vinegar.
