💰Cheaper: homemade Worcestershire

Homemade Worcestershire can be made with pantry staples.

Melt some butter in a pot.

Add apple cider vinegar to the pot.

Add brown sugar, dijon mustard, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke to the pot.

Be careful not to add too much liquid smoke.

Add spices: black pepper, white pepper, cayenne pepper, and smoked sea salt.

Add a little Tabasco for heat, to taste.

Pour in about three-quarters of a cup of sour beer.

Stir everything together and bring it to a boil.

Once it comes to a boil, the sauce is done and ready to use.
