Servings 8 ounces
Equipment
- A small saucepan
Ingredients
- ½ c ketchup unsweetened
- 4 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 8 tbsp peach jam
- 3 tbsp bourbon can sub whiskey
- 2 tsp molasses
- ½ tsp mustard powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Place a small saucepan over low heat on a stovetop burner. Use measuring spoons and cups to measure out the ingredients and add them all into the saucepan, letting them warm up as you add them.
- Use the whisk again to combine it all and increase the heat to medium high to bring the mixture to a boil. Once at a low boil, decrease the heat to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently to keep the sauce from burning.
- When the 15 minutes are up, remove the pan from the heat and either use the bbq sauce right away or let it cool then pour it in a glass jar or other container. If not using right away, make sure the sauce cools completely before placing a lid on it and storing in the fridge for up to 4 days.
