Kentucky Bourbon Barbeque Sauce Recipe

What differentiates Kentucky bourbon barbeque sauce recipes from others is the heat and the sweet in addition to that all important bourbon flavor. The recipe that I've got for you right here is a great all-rounder and compliments almost any barbecued meat.

For a variation on the theme, this other Kentucky Bourbon Barbecue Sauce recipe is packed with Dijon mustard and well worth a try too. There's more sauces like this in the links at the bottom of the page.

I've started by caramelizing some chopped onions but if your in a hurry you can skip this bit, just fry them off for about 5 minutes and still have a sauce ready to use in approximately 15 minutes.

Having said that, I like to let my sauces cool and have time for the flavors to mingle – it's always better for reheating.

Also just a word of reassurance if you don't like to take alcohol. The bitter taste (and the other effects) of the alcohol are evaporated as the sauce is warmed through so this sauce is not designed to be alcoholic in any way.

This recipe will make approximately 1½ pints.

Preparation Time:- 5 mins
Cooking Time:- 45 mins

Total Time:- 50 mins

Ingredients:-

• One large onion, chopped
• 5 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon
• 1 pint or 500ml ketchup
• 12 tablespoons brown sugar
• 8 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 8 tablespoons pineapple juice
• 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
• A knob of butter

Method:-

Place a saucepan on a low heat, melt the butter and add the chopped onion. Allow the onion to cook gently in the butter until it caramelizes (maybe 30 minutes) then add the sugar and the ketchup and stir. You'll know when the caremelization starts because the onion will turn a brown color and the texture will stay soft - you're not looking for burned and crispy.

Now throw in the rest of the ingredients, mix them up and stir. Simmer gently for about 15 minutes until your bourbon barbeque sauce starts to thicken.

Allow to cool and then taste. If you want to add a little more Tabasco then go for it.
