Bourbon BBQ Sauce

Here's a nice easy BBQ sauce with Bourbon which gives a nice, rich bold flavor, with a hint of vanilla from the Kentucky Bourbon:

Ingredients:

• 1 small bottle (16 oz) ketchup
• 1/4 cup plain yellow mustard
• 1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 3/4 cup Kentucky Bourbon (I used Evan Williams: not too expensive, but real sour mash bourbon)
• 1 small white onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 TBSP molasses
• 3 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
• 1 TBSP hot sauce ( I used Sriracha)
• 1 TBSP bacon grease
• Ground black pepper to taste (1/2 - 1 tsp)
• Kosher salt to taste (1-2 tsp)

Directions:

• Add onion, garlic, and bacon grease to sauce pan, and saute until onion is clear.
• Add bourbon, and simmer until reduced by half.
• Add ALL the other ingredients and bring to low boil, then reduce to a very low simmer for 20 mins. 
• Stir frequently so the sugars don't scorch
• Blend until smooth (optional)
