Ingredients
250mlapple cider vinegar
200mlHeinz ketchup
50mlapple cider
1tablespoonbrown sugar
1teaspoonsalt
1teaspoonWorcestershire sauce
1teaspoonhot pepper flakes
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a medium sauce pan over medium heat.
Turn on the fan and keep your head away from the pan, there’s a lot of vinegar action going on and the fumes *will* knock you over.
Bring to a simmer and simmer for about 5 minutes or until well blended and slightly thickened.
Use immediately or store covered in the refrigerator for upwards of two weeks.
Recipe Notes
For a thicker, sweeter sauce, continue cooking until desired thickness is reached. Careful, though, ketchup is high on sugar and might burn if you're not careful.
