Got this delicious recipe from my niece in Seattle when I visited the USA in 2017. Smooth or lumpy, you can decide. I now use this on everything from marinating, basting and for the sauce in pulled pork. - Stephanie Little

Ingredients

1/2 onion finely diced
4 garlic cloves minced
3/4 cup bourbon whisky
1/2 tsp black pepper ground
1/2 tsp salt ground

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar firmly packed
2 tbs liquid smoke flavouring
1/3 tsp Tabasco *to taste

Method

Step 1

Heat a large frypan over medium heat, then combine the onion, garlic and whiskey. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
Step 2

Mix in the ground black pepper, salt, tomato sauce, tomato paste, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, liquid smoke flavouring and Tabasco sauce.
Step 3

Bring to a boil. Reduce to a medium-low heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Run sauce through a strainer if you prefer a smooth sauce.
