Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup yellow mustard
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp Tabasco sauce
- 1 tsp molasses
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp coarse salt
- 1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the yellow mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, molasses, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Heat the Sauce: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. Once simmering, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle bubbling. Continue to stir often, ensuring the sauce does not scorch.
- Simmer and Adjust: Allow the mixture to bubble gently for approximately 5 minutes. As it cooks, taste the sauce and adjust the flavors to your liking. For less tanginess, add more honey or brown sugar. For increased heat, a bit more Tabasco sauce can be added.
- Cool and Store: After the cooking process, remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool completely. Once cooled, transfer it to a jar or an airtight container for storage.
