Sweet N Smoky BBQ Sauce

• 2 cup all natural ketchup (no high fructose corn syrup)
• 1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup apple cider (not the vinegar)
• 2 tbsp applewood liquid smoke
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 small pinch cayenne pepper (add a little more if you like a little heat with your sweet)

1. Combine all ingredients in a medium sauce pan.
2. If you have any clumps of brown sugar smash them with the back of your spoon against the sides of the sauce pan.
3. Bring sauce to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
4. Reduce heat to medium low and let simmer for 20 minutes uncovered to reduce and thicken, again stirring occasionally.
5. Turn off heat and set pan aside to allow sauce to cool completely, it will get even thicker as it cools.
6. Transfer to an air tight container and store in your fridge.
7. Use on all your favorite bbq, but this sauce was created specifically for my pulled pork recipe.
8. Yum!
