AWESOME HONEY BACON BOURBON BBQ SAUCE
On New Year's Eve I always serve my smoked pork ribs, slathered in my homemade BBQ sauce. This is a kickin' sauce that really delivers a lot of flavor, and can stand up to the rigors of a slow cooker without breaking down.

Steps:
- 1. Gather your dry ingredients.
- 2. Gather your sauce ingredients.
- 3. Rough chop the bacon, onion, & the garlic.
- 4. Chef's Note: What's a rough chop. A rough chop is when the veggies need to be cut up but they are not a part of the presentation of the dish.
- 5. Chef's Note: Take a nice big swig of the bourbon... just to make sure it's fresh.
- 6. Place a skillet over medium heat, and then add the bacon.
- 7. Cook, stirring regularly, until the bacon begins to brown, but not burn, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- 8. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet.
- 9. Continue to cook and stir, until the onions have softened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- 10. Add all of the dry ingredients.
- 11. Chef's Note: The cayenne sends this sauce into the hot category. You can cut that down to a small pinch, or leave it out altogether. When I leave it out, I usually add a bit of cumin as a substitute.
- 12. Stir until they are combined into the bacon/onion mixture.
- 13. Chef's Note: Take another swig of the bourbon... just to make sure it's still fresh.
- 14. Deglaze the pan with a generous splash of bourbon (a nice large shot).
- 15. Immediately take the pan off heat.
- 16. Add the contents of the pan to a blender or stand mixer.
- 17. Add the coffee, espresso, ketchup, honey, and soy sauce.
- 18. Chef's Note: When I talk about using ketchup in this recipe, I would really hope you choose a homemade variety. Otherwise you are making a condiment out of a condiment. Besides, store-bought ketchup has things in it, other than ketchup. Go homemade... if you can. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/versatile-homemade-ketchup.html?r=1
- 19. Blend until completely smooth.
- 20. Store in a glass airtight container, and refrigerate until ready to use. Enjoy.
- 21. Keep the faith, and keep drinking... err cooking.
