Tongue Tingling Jim Beam BBQ Sauce

Smoky, tangy and sweet with a little heat. This easy BBQ sauce from Steve Raichlen's Barbecue Bible, uses a bit of bourbon (I use Jim Beam) to mellow and tie together the combination of punchy ingredients. This BBQ sauce mixes up in about 15 minutes, but it's better if you refrigerate overnight for the flavors to marry.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup bourbon Jim Beam
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and whisk together. Heat over medium high heat until the mixture starts to boil, stirring regularly.
  2. When the mixture boils reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook for about 6-8 minutes or until very fragrant and smooth.
  3. Let the sauce cool to room temperature then transfer to a storage container and refrigerate overnight for the flavors to marry.
  4. Sauce will keep for several weeks.
