Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, molasses, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help all the flavors meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
-
After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the BBQ sauce cool to room temperature. As it cools, the sauce will thicken up a bit more.
-
Once the Black BBQ Sauce has cooled, transfer it to a clean glass jar or airtight container for storage. You can use it immediately or refrigerate it for up to two weeks.
-
Serve the Black BBQ Sauce with grilled meats such as chicken, ribs, or pulled pork. Brush it on during the last few minutes of grilling for a glossy finish and a burst of flavor.
-
Enjoy the compliments as your guests savor the unique and delicious taste of this homemade Black BBQ Sauce!
