Elevate your grilling game with nature's candy. This irresistible Honey BBQ Sauce relies on pure honey to deliver a delicate floral sweetness and a jaw-dropping, sticky caramelized glaze. It is the absolute ultimate pairing for chicken wings, pulled pork, and slow-roasted ribs!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ketchup (the classic savory tomato base)
- 1/2 cup Pure honey (use local wildflower or clover honey for the best flavor)
- 1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar (cuts through the rich sweetness)
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar (adds a subtle touch of molasses)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (for that essential umami kick)
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika (brings the campfire aroma indoors)
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, pure honey, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk together until the honey is completely dissolved into the liquids.
- Stir in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, whisking frequently.
- Once bubbling, immediately reduce the heat to low. Let the sauce simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes. It will slightly thicken and transform into a gorgeous, glossy glaze.
- Remove from the heat and allow the sauce to cool completely. Transfer it to an airtight jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks!
