Start by placing 1 cup of ketchup into a saucepan.

Add 1 cup of mango juice to the saucepan.

Next, add 2 tablespoons of molasses.

Then, add 1/2 cup of brown sugar.

Pour in 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar.

Add 1 teaspoon each of black pepper, garlic, onion, and paprika.

Also, add 1/2 tablespoon of cayenne pepper for spice.

Turn on the burner to medium-low heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Taste the sauce to check the flavor and adjust if necessary.

Allow the sauce to cool down to room temperature; it will thicken during this process.
