Kentucky Bourbon Barbecue Sauce Recipe With Dijon Mustard

If you've got all the ingredients to hand then this Kentucky bourbon barbecue sauce recipe with Dijon mustard is supremely easy without compromising flavor.

If you're looking at the recipe ingredients and thinking “where's the vinegar?” then don't worry, this is where the Dijon mustard comes into play because there's vinegar in the mustard and just to keep you comfortable there a short sharp shot of balsamic to finish it off. Plenty of opportunity to add the sourness that distinguishes a barbecue sauce.

Note also that alcohol can add a bitterness to any cooking so it's important that the sauce warmed through to allow for the alcohol to evaporate.

Ingredients:-

• One large onion, chopped
• One green chili, seeded and chopped
• One clove garlic, peeled and chopped
• 1 pint ketchup
• 8 tablespoons molasses
• 5 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon
• 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• A lug of oil for frying

Method:-

Into a medium heated saucepan, add the onion and fry until the onion goes clear, then add the chili to soften and the garlic a few minutes later.

Continue to fry until the garlic is fragrant taking care not to burn any of the ingredients and then add the bourbon. Stir well to “de-glaze the pan” and get all the flavors into the sauce. Whilst doing this the heat of the pan will drive off the alcohol so if using gas just beware that the vapors might catch fire. If it does happen, don't panic the flame will die down in a short space of time.

Now add all the other ingredients and bring the sauce up to a simmer stirring all the time to ensure that the ingredients are fully mixed in. Simmer for approx 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
