Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup (120 g / 4.2 oz) reduced-sugar ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons (6 g / 0.21 oz) dried minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon (4 g / 0.14 oz) brown sugar erythritol, optional
  • 1 teaspoon (3 g / 0.11 oz) garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon (1.5 g / 0.05 oz) chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon (1.5 g / 0.05 oz) ground cumin
  • For a no-cook version, simply whisk all together until smooth. The flavor will be slightly less developed but still delicious for a quick dip or dressing.
  • Customize the spice level by adding more Sriracha or a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
  • For the best flavor, let the sauce rest in the refrigerator for at least a few hours before using. This allows the spices to meld together beautifully.
  • For a smokier flavor, add ¼ to ½ teaspoon of liquid smoke along with the other .

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Place all into a small saucepan and whisk thoroughly until everything is well combined and smooth.
  3. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium-low heat.
  4. Continue to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
