Bourbon Whiskey Barbecue Sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, bourbon whiskey, brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic powder.

2. 2

   Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the ingredients together until well mixed.

3. 3

   Bring the mixture to a slight simmer, then reduce the heat to low.

4. 4

   Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to ensure the flavors meld together.

5. 5

   After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the barbecue sauce cool.

6. 6

   Once cooled, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can blend it using an immersion blender or a regular blender.

   Transfer the bourbon whiskey barbecue sauce to a jar or bottle and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. The sauce can be used as a glaze for meats, a dipping sauce, or a marinade.
