MAPLE WHISKEY BBQ SAUCE

I've tweaked this recipe over the years to something I proudly serve with my pulled pork and ribs. It's also delicious on chicken. As the sauce simmers, it will develop a deep, rich color and flavor. The sauce tastes best if made a day ahead of time.

Tips:

For a thicker sauce, reduce the sauce by simmering it in a saucepan over medium heat until it reaches desired consistency.
For a smokier flavor, use a smoked paprika or chipotle powder.
To make the sauce spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
For a sweeter sauce, add a tablespoon or two of brown sugar or honey.
To make the sauce tangier, add a tablespoon or two of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.
Use a variety of mustards to create a more complex flavor. Dijon, brown, and yellow mustard all work well.
