Honey BBQ Sauce – 15-Minute One-Pot Recipe

Honey BBQ Sauce

Fifteen minutes. One pot. Better than anything in a bottle.

Prep: 5 min | Cook: 12 min | Yield: ~2 cups | Keeps: 2 weeks refrigerated

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup Barista/Bakers Honey
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne (or a squeeze of our Hot Honey for serious heat)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Combine everything in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
  3. Reduce heat to low and cook 10–12 minutes until thickened.
  4. Use immediately or store in a jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Buckwheat version: Swap Buckwheat honey for the Barista/Bakers and add 1 tablespoon of brown mustard. This makes a darker, more Kansas City-style sauce with serious depth.
