How to make Arby’s sauce

1. Place the ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and ground cloves into a small saucepan.
2. Stir the ingredients together and warm over medium heat. Bring to a slight simmer and then reduce the heat to medium-low. Let warm for about 5 minutes to let the sugar dissolve and the flavors come together.
3. Remove from heat and serve or let cool and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Recipe tips

• If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a little extra white vinegar or even a 1 tablespoon of water.
• Make sure to stir the sauce while it’s warming. This will help prevent the sauce from burning.
• Want a spicy sauce? Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a splash of hot sauce.

How to store

Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Great options for storing are a Mason jar, glass container with a lid, or even a squeeze bottle.
