Bourbon BBQ Sauce


I'm all about a good barbecue.  I've come to realize that those who live above the Mason Dixon line tend to call anything cooked on a grill "barbecue."  However, REAL barbecue requires BBQ sauce.  This recipe is great on ribs, brisket, chicken, or whatever your favorite gilled meat happens to.  I got this recipe from here, and in the above picture, I forgot to add the brown sugar (whoops!), so it's usually a bit darker than it appears in the picture.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup onion, minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup bourbon
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1/3 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon liquid smoke
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
Over medium heat, combine the onion, garlic, and bourbon.  Simmer for about 10 minutes or until the onion is translucent.  Mix in the rest of the ingredients.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for 20 minutes.  Run sauce through a strainer if you prefer a smooth sauce.
