Making the easy barbecue sauce - 5 minutes

Combine tomato ketchup with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper and maple syrup or brown sugar. Season with worcestershire sauce. If you don't have any worcestershire sauce, you can use soy sauce instead.

I created both versions, and to be honest, there wasn't much of a difference. So if you normally don't use any worcestershire sauce, it's not perse needed to buy any to create a barbecue sauce.
