Title: Back by popular demand: Krackers Bourbon Sauce
Post by: Kc_Kracker on October 12, 2018, 09:09:29 PM
Thank you for welcoming me back, so Id like to share this with the group and please dont share all over facebook. This is my original Bold Bourbon sauce recipe, for those that like the flavor to stay bold instead of losing flavor while its cooking and the sauce to carmelize.

A word of warning, if you try to double, triple, the recipe for a larger amount, it does not come out the same, its comes out good, not amazing. The directions are very important you follow. and this sauce is great on most things but its heaven on chicken. it should be cooked on the meat not added after its removed from cooking/done if you want it to carmelize.

2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup of any sour mash bourbon/whiskey (can be substituted with water)
1/3 cup "pepper perfect" apple cider vinegar  (available at most fred meyers)
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup mustard
1 TBSP onion powder (not granulated, ONLY POWDER
1 TBSP garlic powder (not granulated, ONLY POWDER
1/2 tsp cayenne powder (if you are sensitive to spice this is optional)
1/2 cup of dark molasses

1-Put all ingredients in a medium sauce pan, mix VERY well until you get a uniform color
2-heat on low until it starts to simmer, do NOT crank up the heat to rush this you want the flavors to infuse slowly
3-mix often so it doesn't burn to the bottom
4-once it starts to barely simmer, and add 1/2 cup of dark molasses and mix til its a uniform color
5-crank the heat to high, keep mixing slowly, and once it boils let it go for about 30 seconds and remove from heat. no longer or the sauce wont caramelize on the bbq.
6-dip your finger and taste  :drool:
--refrigerate in a mason jar or whatever

Enjoy folks and when you use it or make it let me know how you liked it, pics are even better i love bbq porn!
And dont get any funny ideas, the recipe is copyrighted  :tup:

one of my friends is a national pit master 20x over, and was just inducted into the Canadian BBQ hall of fame. According to him you could lick this off a dogs butt and its still better then anything on the shelf  :chuckle:

Whipped up my first batch today, followed the directions to a t........ speechless spellbound, it's awesome and I just had a taste off a spoon. Thanks so much! I'm smoking a pork shoulder tommorrow, it'll get pressed into action. I washed out the ketchup bottle after emptying it into another partial. I put the sauce in that.

It was very good on the pork, I like a light sace on pulled pork, I took the sauce and pork to work, couple of coworkers taste tested and gave a big thumbs up. Thanks for the know how.

Made a batch tonight to put on some pork chops, it definitely has a unique taste to it.

Thinking about using it in a chili recipe for a cook off on Sunday, using sirloin steak either seared on a grill, or in a pan. It it will be delicious, or horrible which one I don’t know.🤣

I don’t think I did anything wrong, it just didn’t have I guess the bold flavor I was expecting.

But I’ll see once I eat the chops .

It was delicious on the chops.👍

I might have not let it get to full boil before I started the 30 second count, was being cautious about over cooking it.🤔

Any recommendations on a cheaper whiskey/bourbon that works well with this? Might do a pork shoulder for the Super Bowl...

Canadian Hunter has good flavor, I used Jim Beam since that’s what was in the house.

anything thats NOT canadian, canadian is sweeter so it adds more sweetness and totally ruins the boldness. i forget to say that in the recipe dont use canadian, use a sourmash whiskey. smooth isnt the goal  :tup:

Have not tried it so I'm talking out of my butt, however, it is possible that he just does not have the same tastes as you or the others. Just sayin, had I made it and posted my thoughts on it only to be told I messed it up, well, that might have irritated me a bit.

Now that I have opened my big mouth I am going to try make some of this over the weekend and see how I feel about it. I am also smoking two cured venison hams this weekend so not sure I will be able to pull my mind away from the great expectations I have for those.

That’s ok, I really don’t care about winning since i just want to make sure there’s enough food for everyone to eat.😉
