Joe's Whiskey Barbecue Sauce

This is so easy! Just remember that if you reuse the same sauce used to baste raw meat, I will stab you with my grilling fork unless it is boiled off to eliminate cross contamination... You'll only need about 2-4 tablespoons of bourbon. How much you buy and drink while making the sauce is up to you. I am not responsible if you stumble into the grill on a drunken stupor. :) Enjoy!

Whisk together 2 tablespoons of ketchup with 1/4 cup of distilled white vinegar in a saucepan over low heat. Next, add 1/4 cup molasses and two tablespoons of deli style mustard. Add 1 tablespoon pure chili powder. Add 1 teaspoon each ground cumin, dried oregano, and fresh ground pepper. Add 2-4 tablespoons of bourbon.

Simmer this for about 20-30 minutes, stirring often. Add salt and hot sauce to taste. If you really want to sweat, find a nice habanero hot sauce instead. Feel free to adjust the other ingredients as you see fit. I will often cut back on the vinegar, add more bourbon... you know the drill.
