What each ingredient does
- Spicy catsup
- Forms the sauce base and provides most of its sweetness and tomato body.
- Fresh orange juice
- Adds sweetness and acidity that brighten the sauce.
- Cider vinegar
- Adds sharp acidity that balances the sweetness of the sauce.
- Butter
- Adds fat that gives the sauce a rounder, smoother mouthfeel.
- Brown sugar
- Adds sweetness and caramel notes that deepen the sauce's flavour.
The step that matters
Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Simmering reduces the thin liquid and concentrates flavours. Too short leaves the sauce watery and raw-tasting, while the sugars in catsup and brown sugar can scorch if the heat is too high on the bottom of the pan.
