Ingredients
  • 1cup ketchup(Hunt’s is recommended)
  • 1/2cup rice vinegar
  • 1/2cup apple juice or cider(I used low-sugar juice)
  • 1/4cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4cup Worcestershire sauceor soy sauce
  • 2teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 3/4teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/4teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/3cup bacon bits
  • 1/2cup onion powderor grated onion
Instructions
  1. In a large saucepan, combine ketchup, rice vinegar, apple juice, cider vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, mustard, garlic, white pepper, cayenne, and bacon bits. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then stir in the onion powder.
  2. Reduce the heat and simmer the mixture, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes or until it thickens slightly. (Note: my mixture started to bubble and spurt out of the pan, so I covered it, with the lid slightly ajar to let air in.) Stir frequently.
  3. Allow sauce to cool and pour into sterilized glass bottles. Makes 3 cups. May be stored for up to two weeks.
