> Homemade vegan BBQ sauce is super easy to make and way better than store-bought! This recipe whips up in minutes using just a handful of ingredients. Bonus: it's freezer-friendly, so you can have some on hand at all times!

In a #medium saucepan{}, stir together @ketchup{2%cups}, @whiskey{1/2%cup}(can substitute water), @@Worcestershire Sauce{1/4%cup}, @molasses{2%tbsp}, @tomato paste{2%tbsp}, @onion powder{1%tsp}, @garlic powder{1/2%tsp}, @smoked paprika{1/2%tsp}, @cayenne pepper{1/4%tsp}, @salt{1/2%tsp}, @black pepper{1/2%tsp}.

Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a low boil, then lower the heat to a simmer.

Allow the mixture to simmer for about ~{10%min}, stirring or whisking occasionally, until it reaches your desired level of thickness.

Remove the pot from heat, taste-test and season with additional @salt{} and @pepper{} to taste.
Adjust any other seasonings to your liking.

Allow the sauce to cool.

Use it immediately, or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator or freezer.
