Method

Mix Everything Together

Put a medium saucepan on medium heat. Add ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, liquid smoke, celery seeds, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and chopped red pepper. Stir it all well so everything blends nicely.

Let It Simmer

Add margarine and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer (don’t let it boil hard). Let it cook for about 10–15 minutes. Stir now and then so it doesn’t stick. You’ll notice it slowly getting thicker and the flavors coming together.

Check And Finish

Taste it and adjust if needed. If it feels too thick, add a little water. If something is missing, add a bit more seasoning. Turn off the heat, let it cool for a few minutes, and it’s ready to use or store in the fridge in a sealed container.
