Follow these easy steps to create your own Homemade BBQ Sauce:

1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce.
2. Add Spices: Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper, if you like some heat.
3. Stir Together: Mix all the ingredients well until fully combined.
4. Heat: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
5. Cook: Allow the sauce to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
6. Taste and Adjust: After simmering, taste the sauce and adjust any ingredients as necessary. Add more honey for sweetness, vinegar for tang, or cayenne for heat.
7. Cool: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
8. Store: Transfer the cooled sauce into a clean, airtight container or jar. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
