Dr Pepper Barbecue Sauce

Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 52cal

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Dr. Pepper 1 can
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 2 ½ Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 Tablespoon firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 ½ Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients except the cornstarch and water in a medium saucepan.
  • Whisk everything together and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
    Be careful not to turn the heat up too high as it can burn the sugar in the soda.
  • Combine cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the saucepan.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes, or until sauce is thickened.
    20-30 minutes may seem like a long time, but you need time for the water in the Dr. Pepper to evaporate and cook off.
