Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

  • Combine the sugar, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, and garlic salt in a saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Continue to cook, stirring often, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and use right away or store in the refrigerator until needed.

Notes

The sauce will thicken up more as it sits. Once refrigerated, it will need to be reheated to a pourable consistency.
