Ingredients

• 4 cups ketchup
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon dry mustard powder
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• coarse or Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar

Directions

Whisk together all ingredients in a large saucepan until blended and smooth. Bring sauce to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently until sauce begins to boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
