Instructions

1

Preparation

5 Minuten

Measure and prepare all ingredients except the bourbon. Preheat a small saucepan over medium heat.

2

Cook the Base

5 Minuten

Add ketchup, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and black pepper to the pot and stir well.

3

Simmer

15 Minuten

Simmer the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

4

Add Bourbon

5 Minuten

Stir in the bourbon and simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate and the flavor to fully develop.

5

Season and Bottle

5 Minuten

Remove sauce from heat, taste and adjust with salt or maple syrup if needed. Pour into sterilized jars or bottles.

Pro Tip

Add the bourbon towards the end of cooking so the alcohol evaporates but the flavor remains. For more depth, replace some of the maple syrup with molasses.
