Instructions
Make It Now:
- In a small mixing bowl, place all ingredients together. Stir with a whisk until well combined.
- In a medium sauce pan, bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until it thickens.
Freeze For Later: Let the sauce cool completely. Then, pour it into a small freezer bag, mason jar, or freezer container with lid. Seal and freeze. (If using a mason jar, be sure to leave at least 1 inch of headspace at the top.)
Prepare From Frozen: Thaw using one of these safe methods and use according to your recipe.
Notes/Tips
This sauce is on the tangy end of the taste spectrum. If you want less tang, you can use less apple cider vinegar.
Storage Options:
- Refrigeration: If you plan to use the sauce within a few weeks, store it in the refrigerator. Homemade BBQ sauce can typically last in the fridge for 2-4 weeks.
- Freezing: For longer-term storage, you can freeze homemade BBQ sauce. Use an airtight, freezer-safe container. Leave some space at the top to account for expansion. BBQ sauce can be frozen for up to 3-6 months without significant loss of quality.
