Adapted from an internet recipe.
Easy to make sauce great for BBQs or using in other recipes that call for BBQ sauce. The yield from this recipe is about 2 cups. I made this on 14 Dec 2016, recipe modified slightly, my report below.

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1½ cups ketchup
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon Worcherstershire sauce
  • 2½ tablespoons dry mustard
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1½ teaspoons black pepper
  • 2-4 dashes hot pepper sauce
  • ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together all ingredients in a large bowl until completely mixed and smooth. This is the ingredients before I added the water.
  • I was making BBQ Beans & Weenies, this photo just shows the sauce after it was cooked and refrigerated when I added it to the beans recipes.
  • Pour into a pot and bring to a boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly, then remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Pour into a sealable container and refrigerate overnight before use.

Notes

If using as a sauce say in a bean recipe, the sugar amount is spot on, if using for grilled anything, feel free to increase the sugar a bit. Keep in mind the sugar is what caramelizes and makes that gooey goodness on say BBQ Chicken. This is my Go-to Recipe now.
