Jack Daniels BBQ Sauce Recipe
Jack Daniels Tennessee whiskey is the key to this delicious BBQ sauce recipe, a perfect complement to countless BBQ and grilling main dishes. We keep the other ingredients to a minimum to showcase the complexity of flavor whiskey provides.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Jack Daniel's Black Label or a bourbon
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons malt vinegar
- 4 tablespoons dark or blackstrap molasses
- 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
Method
- Prep. Test the whiskey to make sure it is up to your standards. Pour half the whiskey into a saucepan and set aside the remaining whiskey.
- Heat. Bring a saucepan to a boil and reduce the liquid to about 2 tablespoons for a single batch, scale up if you are making more. Don't let the alcohol flame. Taste the unused whiskey to make sure it hasn't gone bad.
- Add 1/2 of the remaining whiskey and the other ingredients. Simmer over a low heat for 30 minutes and reduce it by about 1/3.
- Serve or store. Use it immediately as you would your favorite BBQ sauce or bottle it and keep it in the refrigerator for a month or more. Drink the remaining whiskey.
