Zippy Barbecue Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco(R))
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Whisk the ketchup, water, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, salt, hot pepper sauce, granulated garlic, and black pepper together in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking at a simmer, stirring together, another 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Pour into a glass jar and store uncovered in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to blend and reduce any sharpness from the vinegar.
