Honey-Garlic BBQ Sauce

It changes every time, but this time people asked for the recipe, so I thought this time maybe I'd better write it down!

To be clear, you can easily change this recipe to fit what you have in the house. I'll list substitutions that I often make in brackets behind each ingredient.

Yield: 2-ish cups

Ingredients:
  • 1 c. ketchup
  • 1/4 c. worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 c. brown sugar (or syrup, maple syrup)
  • 2 tbsp honey (or syrup, maple syrup - don't use more if added above)
  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard (any other mustard works too - even 1.5 tsp ground mustard)
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic ( 3-4 cloves or jarred)
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar (red wine vinegar, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar)
  • 2 tsp hot sauce 
  • 1.5 tsp chili powder
  • 1.5 tsp black pepper
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tsp cornstarch, just liquified w/ water (optional, do this only if heating sauce prior to using - to thicken)
Directions:
  1. Mix it all together. 
  2. Use as a marinade or on your favourite sandwich, burger, ribs, grilled cheese
  3. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for about one week. (If used as a marinade, throw the excess out.)
