Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Jack Daniels whiskey
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, Jack Daniels whiskey, and brown sugar. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, about 1-2 minutes.
Add in the ketchup, soy sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir frequently to prevent any sticking or burning.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. For a sweeter sauce, add a little more brown sugar; for tanginess, add a splash of vinegar.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Store in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve as a glaze, dip, or sauce for your favorite dishes.
