Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (235g) ketchup
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp (20g) molasses
  • 1 tbsp (6g) smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp (3g) garlic powder
  • 1 tsp (3g) onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Combine all ingredients in the saucepan and whisk vigorously while cold to ensure the molasses and maple syrup are fully integrated and spices are clump-free.
  2. Place the pan over medium heat until the sauce reaches a gentle bubble, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.
  3. Remove from heat and let the sauce sit for 5 minutes to allow the viscosity to settle for a smoother glaze.
