Johnson’s Barbeque Sauce

We have tried many commercial barbeque sauces, but they all have too much sugar and many lack flavor. The sponsor of an Instagram group I belong to shared her Texas recipe, too hot for us, but I used her philosophy to develop my own sauce! It’s a great all-around sauce that I use for many dishes, not only barbeque.

Ingredients
15 oz tomato sauce
¼ cup Bourbon
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
½ cup local honey
1 tbsp Worcestershire
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cayenne
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp dark brown sugar
2 tsp molasses
3 cloves garlic minced
1 shallot minced

Mix all the listed ingredients together and bring to a boil, then simmer for 8-10 minutes or until about 20% reduced.
Pour into a clean mason jar and store in refrigerator.
