- Yield: Makes 3 cups
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups ketchup
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder

Recipe Steps
Step 1: Place the ketchup, vinegars, soy sauce, garlic and onion powders, brown sugar, and brisket drippings in a heavy saucepan. Gradually bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce, uncovered, until thick and richly flavored, 10 minutes, whisking often.
