Barbecue Sauce

From BBQ&A by Myron Mixon

2 T. onion powder

2 T. garlic powder

2 cups ketchup

2 T. paprika

2/3 cup apple cider vinegar

2 T. Worcestershire sauce

¼ cup dark brown sugar

2 T. honey

2 T. maple syrup

2 t. kosher salt

2 t. freshly ground black pepper

Combine all the ingredients of the base in a blender; pulse until thoroughly combined. Pour into a medium pot. Over medium heat, stir continuously until the sauce is heated through. Do not allow it to boil. Remove from the heat and use the sauce immediately, while hot.

If saving for later use, allow the mix to cool, then pour it into a large bottle or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to six months.

Makes 3 1/2 cups
