Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup yellow mustard
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients: In a small saucepan, whisk together the yellow mustard, brown sugar, honey, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper until fully blended.
- Heat the mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent any burning or sticking.
- Let the flavors develop: Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Allow the sauce to cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even consistency and flavor infusion.
- Cool the sauce: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. The flavors will continue to deepen as it cools.
- Store and enjoy: Transfer the cooled sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate. It can be stored for up to one week and used as a marinade, glaze, or dipping sauce.
