Step by step

Method

3 steps

  1. 1

    Whisk chili sauce, water, cider vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire, and liquid smoke in a bowl until the sugar dissolves and it looks glossy.

  2. 2

    Taste — you want sweet-tangy with a little smoke. Add a splash more vinegar if it’s flat, or a pinch of brown sugar if it’s sharp.

  3. 3

    Use right away on meat, or refrigerate up to a week. Warm gently if it thickens when cold.
