Smoky Bourbon BBQ Sauce

Ingredients

Yields 1 serving

  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar* (175 grams)
  • 2/3 cup Apple Juice (160 grams)
  • 2/3 cup Ketchup (195 grams)
  • 1/3 cup Bourbon Whiskey ((see note)***) (65 grams)
  • 3 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Smoked Sea Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce (vegetarian friendly)
  • 2 teaspoons Adobo Sauce**
  • 2 teaspoons Yellow Mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco (optional - to turn up the heat!)

Method

3 steps

  1. 1

    In a small saucepot, whisk together the brown sugar, apple juice, ketchup, bourbon, vinegar, salt, worchestershire, adobo, and mustard together on medium-high heat. As soon as it starts to boil, turn the heat to medium-low and bring the sauce to a simmer. This sauce will boil over and make a mess if left to boil, so watch it closely.

  2. 2

    Simmer for 15 minutes. Whisk as needed to incorporate all the ingredients. The sauce will start to thicken. Remove from heat and allow to cool. It will continue to thicken. Add the optional liquid smoke and tabasco. Adjust Tabasco heat to taste.

  3. 3

    Store for up to two weeks in the refrigerator in a lidded container or up to six months in the freezer (be sure to leave at least a 1/2" head space if freezing).
