I’ve never boiled soda before. It started out started out looking like a bottle that was shaken before popping the cap. Eventually it turned to a boil. Very cool.
Add the ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and orange peel.
Mix well and return to a simmer.
Lower the heat and cook at a low simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often, until well blended and thickened.
Remove from the heat and serve, or cool and store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
