In a small saucepan, add ketchup, water, apricot jam, honey, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and spices.
On the stove, bring your sauce to a simmer using medium heat. Turn the heat down to medium low and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Notes
Cool and Store
Let the sauce cool to room temperature before transferring it to a jar or airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, allowing the flavors to develop even further.
