Instructions

Add the ketchup, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, molasses, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, celery salt, and mustard powder to a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until all of the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from the heat and allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or glass jar. Refrigerate until ready to use. Enjoy!

Notes

Thickness: This sauce thickens as it cools.
Flavor Building: Refrigerate overnight for even better flavor.
Great for gifting in small mason jars.
