Bbq Sauce: Sweet And Spicy - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup catsup
    2/3 cup granulated sugar (more or less, adjust to taste)
    1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
    1/2 cup water
    2 teaspoons salt
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (more or less, to taste)
    red pepper flakes (to taste, I use about 1/2 teaspoon)
Preparation
    Combine all ingredients except red pepper flakes in a small size sauce pan. Whisk while heating over a medium-low flame. Once sugar is dissolved, add in red pepper flakes. Simmer 5 minutes, whisking often.
    Once everything is incorporated, and you've adjusted the taste to your liking, let cool completely and store in an air tight jar for up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator (that's the longest it ever lasted in our house, it may stay fresh longer). If not using right away, mix sauce well, before using. (Nicely fills a recycled and cleaned, 16oz olive jar for storing in the fridge).
    *Note: While the ingredients have time to meld together in the fridge, the flavor will change a bit. Keep this in mind while tasting during the preparation. A little bit hot will get hotter -- a little bit sweet will get sweeter.
    Enjoy!
