It wouldn’t be right to have a #BBQweek without a homemade BBQ Sauce that is absolutely killer! Made with a healthy serving of whiskey, infused with mesquite wood goodness, sweet with a definite kick—this sauce hits all the notes! A must try, for sure.
Add 1 cup of whiskey to a sauce pan on medium heat.
Bring to a light simmer…
…and carefully ignite.
Take 3-4 mesquite wood chips…
…and char over the open flame.
Once charred, drop them in the pan.
Add 1 whole clove of peeled garlic…
…1 tbsp of chopped rosemary and 1 tbsp of chopped thyme…
…2 cups ketchup…
…1/2 cup tomato paste…
…1/2 cup brown sugar…
…1 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp ground cumin, 1 tbsp onion powder, and 2 tsp cayenne pepper…
…to the sauce pan.
Top with 1 tbsp of worcestershire sauce…
…and 1 tbsp of dijon mustard.
Season with salt…
…and pepper to taste.
Turn heat to low and thoroughly combine ingredients.
Cook for one hour, stirring intermittently.
When sauce is finished cooking, remove ALL wood chips and whole garlic clove.
Carefully pour sauce into a container…
…and enjoy!

Hello Byron !!
I need your help , in my country, We don’t use lbs and cups to measure food.
would be great if you wrote the two measures, this would be very useful for me
I don’t know the equivalents. Thank you
Hey Byron, I love the idea of adding in charred wood chips! I make my own barbecue sauce as well, but haven’t thought of that. Thanks for the idea. I’m definitely going to try this recipe out. Thanks again.
