Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Small saucepan (optional, for warming)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup honey warming it slightly makes mixing easier

  • 1 teaspoon chili pepper paste optional, for heat

Instructions

Combine the ingredients

  • In a medium bowl, add ketchup, honey, and Worcestershire sauce.

Mix until smooth

  • Use a whisk to stir until fully combined. If the honey is thick, warm it slightly in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to make blending easier.

Taste and adjust

  • Want it sweeter? Add a touch more honey. Need more tang? Add extra Worcestershire.

Optional heating

  • For a warm sauce, transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and heat over low for 2–3 minutes, stirring often.

Serve or store

  • Use immediately or transfer to an airtight jar and refrigerate.

Notes

This sauce thickens slightly when chilled. Stir before using, and if you prefer it warm, heat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
