I'm almost positive you already have all these things, so it's just a matter of mixing them...well...kind of.
See the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Add all the ingredients to a small saucepan over medium-high heat and whisk to be sure everything is thoroughly combined. Bring to a slow boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool. Pour the sauce into a condiment squeeze bottle or a mason jar and refrigerate for up to a week.
Expert Tips
- While it may seem counterintuitive to add white vinegar and apple cider vinegar, I recommend this, as using just one or the other slightly changes the flavor.
- If you have a cooking blender, you can save time using the purée setting instead of making this on the stove.
- I like to transfer the Arby's sauce to a squeeze bottle for easier storage and use. Plus, it will be good in the fridge for about 4-5 days.
