1. First, prepare the BBQ seasoning blend: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1.5 tablespoons of paprika (estimated from 'heaping tbsp'), 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (estimated from 'pinch or two'). Mix thoroughly and store in an airtight container if not using immediately. 2. To make the Homemade BBQ Sauce: In a sauce pan, combine 1 cup of ketchup, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1.5 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and the entire prepared BBQ seasoning blend. 3. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring regularly. 4. Continue to simmer until all the sugar has dissolved. Taste the sauce and adjust with additional salt and pepper if desired. 5. Pour the finished BBQ sauce into a pint mason jar and refrigerate until needed.
