Bourbon BBQ Sauce

This homemade BBQ sauce is richly flavored, simple to make, and not overly sweet or tangy. It's perfect for slathering on ribs, basting grilled chicken, or dunking your fries.

Instructions

  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a medium saucepan. Whisk well to combine.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
  3. Let cool for 20 minutes before transferring to a mason jar or air tight storage container.
  4. For best flavor, refrigerate for 24-48 hours before using. Otherwise, use immediately.
  5. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Any bourbon you prefer will work well here, but it's not necessary to get fancy. Cheap bourbon will work fine. 
  • We do prefer the flavor after this has had a chance to set for 24-48 hours, but this is definitely not necessary. Use immediately if needed.
