Bourbon Barbecue Sauce Recipe

From 500 Treasured Country Recipes by Martha Storey & Friends (Storey Comm.)

Bourbon barbecue sauce is a favorite at a number of chain restaurants. It's easy to make at home. Great for poultry, beef, and pork.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Hungarian paprika
  • 1/3 cup bourbon whiskey

PREPARATION:

In a large, heavy saucepan, melt the butter with the oil. Saute the onions until tender. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes longer.

Combine the molasses, ketchup, vinegar, mustard, pepper, lemon juice, zest, soy sauce, paprika, and bourbon. Stir into onion mixture.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool and refrigerate in a covered container.

Yield: 2-1/2 cups
