Ingredients

  • 1 cup apricot preserves
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, combine apricot preserves, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
  • Thoroughly blend the mixture to incorporate all the ingredients.
  • Place the saucepan on medium heat and let the mixture gently simmer.
  • Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the flavors meld together.
  • If you prefer a smoother consistency, carefully transfer the sauce to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool before transferring it to a glass jar or airtight container.
