1/2 large onion, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup Jack Daniel's whiskey
3/4 cup molasses
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 Tablespoon salt
2 cups catsup
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/3 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons liquid smoke
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 teaspoon Tabasco, or less
Combine onion, garlic, and Jack Daniel's Whiskey in a 3-quart
saucepan. Saute until onion and garlic are translucent, approximately
10 minutes. Remove from heat and light mixture; flame for 20
seconds. Add all remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then
turn down to a medium simmer. Simmer 20 minutes, stirring constantly.
Run sauce through a medium strainer to remove onion and garlic bits
if you prefer a smoother sauce. Cool.
Note: This sauce gets better with age. If time permits, keep it
in the refrigerator a day or so to develop a deeper, richer taste.
Makes 4 cups.
