Bourbon Barbecue Sauce

Made this to use on some pork ribs and can't wait to try it on chicken. Spicy hot when you taste it, but seems to loose some of the bite when you use it on the meat.  So don't cut the heat before you cook with it.  Can make this up to 2 weeks ahead.

Ingredients:
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup Bourbon plus a shot for the chef :)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke (I used mesquite)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Bring all ingredients to boil in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally.  Reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced to 2 cups.  About 10 minutes, stirring often.

Cover and chill.  Use at room temperature.

  1. This looks awesome! Have you ever done a big batch and froze it? I'm wondering if I can do it and have it on hand to defrost and use for grilling this summer.

  2. I have not tried freezing it but I can't see why it would not work. I freeze sauces all the time. It really does have a lot of flavor and is worth making. :)
