Just a good, catsup-based sweet BBQ sauce. Very simple to make. It is no better or worse than what it is copying, but good for when you�d like to be able to say you made it from scratch! I didn�t bother with the cornstarch slurry � I found it plenty thick once it cooked down a bit.
1 1/4 cups ketchup, preferably organic
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup pineapple juice (or you can sub apple cider vinegar)
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon Worchestershire sauce
2 1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (use less if you don't like the heat)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/8 cold water mixed with 1 tablespoon corn starch (optional)
Recipe
Mix all the ingredients except for the ones in the last line in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 5 minutes � the sugar needs to dissolve. If you wish, add the cornstarch slurry and simmer a little bit longer. Watch carefully � it will thicken quickly. Store in the fridge.
