Categories     Component     Condiment

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup (175 grams) Light Brown Sugar*
2/3 cup (160 grams) Apple Juice
2/3 cup (195 grams) Ketchup
1/3 cup (65 grams) Bourbon Whiskey ((see note for gluten free)***)
3 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Sea Salt
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce (vegetarian friendly, gluten free if needed)
2 teaspoons Adobo Sauce** (look for gluten free if needed)
2 teaspoons Yellow Mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons Liquid Smoke (optional but bumps up smokiness!)
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco (optional - to turn up the heat!)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepot, whisk together the brown sugar, apple juice, ketchup, bourbon, vinegar, salt, worchestershire, adobo, and mustard together on medium-high heat. As soon as it starts to boil, turn the heat to medium-low and bring the sauce to a simmer. This sauce will boil over and make a mess if left to boil, so watch it closely.
  • Simmer for 15 minutes. Whisk as needed to incorporate all the ingredients. The sauce will start to thicken. Remove from heat and allow to cool. It will continue to thicken. Add the optional liquid smoke and tabasco. Adjust Tabasco heat to taste.
  • Store for up to two weeks in the refrigerator in a lidded container or up to six months in the freezer (be sure to leave at least a 1/2" head space if freezing).
