Ingredients

  • ¼ cup bourbon
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 2 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 /4 cup honey
  • 1/3 /3 cup brown sugar tightly packed
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • salt to taste if needed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk together all ingredients in a wide saucepan over medium heat, and bring to a simmer. Whisk occasionally, scraping the sides as needed so any sugars don't burn. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Let cool slightly and transfer to a jar or use immediately. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 6 months. You can make it up to 2 weeks ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the fridge until you need it.
