2 cups ketchup
1 cup water
1/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, to taste depending how much heat you want (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 tablespoon barbeque seasoning (The Neely's Barbeque Seasoning)
salt (optonal)

Preparation

Mix all of the ingredients in a large pot.
Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

If you feel it needs it, add salt to taste.
Remove from heat, cool, and use as needed.
Store in a tightly sealed container for up to 2 months.
