Ingredients:

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions:

  1. Add the ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce to a small saucepan. Whisk vigorously over medium-low heat until the brown sugar granules have completely dissolved and the mixture is a uniform, smooth liquid.
  2. Increase the heat slightly until the sauce reaches a gentle simmer. Stir for 3–4 minutes until the sauce transitions from bright red to a darker, glossy mahogany hue and thickens slightly.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat immediately and allow the sauce to sit for 2 minutes to finish the thickening process.
