- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder

Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the jelly, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce (if using). Stir well until all ingredients are fully blended.

Add Spices: Add the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix everything together until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.

Simmer (Optional): For a richer flavor, transfer the sauce to a small saucepan and simmer over low heat for about 10-15 minutes. This helps meld the flavors together and thickens the sauce slightly.
