Never enough Bourbon BBQ Sauce

It's well worth the "trouble" to make your own barbecue sauce - you won't want to go back to the bottled stuff.

This recipe will give you about 1 cup of sauce.  It can easily be doubled or tripled.  Refrigerate any unused portions.

You need:

2 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium onion, minced
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp Old Bay seasoning
1/2 tsp paprika
2 tsp ground red chili pepper
1 tsp liquid smoke seasoning
1 Tbsp dark molasses
dash of Tabasco
2 Tbsp Bourbon

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat.  Add the onion and garlic, and cook until translucent.

Stir in all other ingredients, mix well.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat.  Simmer, on lowest heat, uncovered, for about an hour or until sauce thickens.
