Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- ½ cup distilled white vinegar
- ½ cup (packed) dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp. hot sauce (preferably Crystal)
- 2 Tbsp. pineapple juice (from a can)
- 2 tsp. sweet paprika
- 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt
- 1 tsp. freshly ground white pepper
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
Method
- Whisk the ketchup, distilled white vinegar, dark brown sugar, soy sauce, hot sauce, pineapple juice, sweet paprika, kosher salt, freshly ground white pepper, and garlic powder together in a medium saucepan until no sugar lumps remain.
- Set the pan over medium-low heat and bring the sauce to a simmer, whisking occasionally so it does not catch on the bottom.
- Cook the sauce, whisking often, for about 5 minutes until it thickens enough to coat a spoon.
- Let the mumbo sauce cool completely, whisking it now and then so no skin forms on the surface, and store it chilled.
