Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ¼ red onion diced
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mince the garlic clove finely and dice the red onion into small, uniform pieces. Having everything prepped before you start cooking ensures a smooth process.
- In a small saucepan, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Allow it to warm for about 30 seconds until it shimmers slightly.
- Add the minced garlic and diced red onion to the heated oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic brown or burn.
- Stir in the ketchup, Dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Increase heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. You’ll see small bubbles forming around the edges of the sauce.
- Lower the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken slightly and develop a deeper color.
- Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a pinch of each and adjust according to your preference.
- Let the sauce cool slightly before transferring to a serving container. The sauce can be used immediately or stored for later use.

Notes
Store your homemade Board and Brew sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The flavors actually improve after sitting overnight, so don’t hesitate to make it ahead. For reheating, simply warm gently in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval until warmed through.
