Preparation

Step 1

Combine the chopped onion, garlic and Jack Daniels in a 3-quart saucepan. Simmer until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes.

Add the ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, molasses, pepper, salt, tomato paste, smoke flavoring, and Tabasco sauce; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until reduced and thickened. This will take about 15 to 25 minutes, and a spatter screen is recommended.

Add more Jack Daniels whiskey if a stronger flavor is desired.
