Ingredients
- 1 cup whiskey
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 onion minced
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups ketchup
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 1/3 cup vinegar
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce optional
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the onion, garlic, and whiskey. Simmer together for 7-10 minutes until the onion is translucent. Mix in the ground black pepper, salt, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire, brown sugar, tomato paste, liquid smoke, and hot sauce.
- Bring everything to a boil and then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Run sauce through a strainer if you want to remove the onion and garlic for a smoother sauce, otherwise, transfer to jars and let cool. Refrigerate for at least overnight to allow flavors to develop.
- Enjoy!
