Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup peach preserves
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup whiskey
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of peach preserves, 1/2 cup of ketchup, 1/4 cup of whiskey, 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the peach preserves and ketchup. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix them together until well blended.
- Add the whiskey to the mixture in the saucepan. Stir well to incorporate the whiskey, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Next, pour in the apple cider vinegar. This will add a tangy flavor to your BBQ sauce. Stir the mixture again until everything is evenly combined.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper to the saucepan. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are well distributed throughout the sauce.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Allow the sauce to come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Once the sauce reaches a simmer, reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help thicken the sauce and enhance the flavors.
- After the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. Allow it to cool slightly before transferring it to a jar or an airtight container.
- Your Whiskey Peach BBQ Sauce is now ready to use! It can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Enjoy it with grilled meats, as a dipping sauce, or as a flavorful addition to your favorite dishes.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality peach preserves and a whiskey you'd enjoy drinking for the best flavor profile.
- Simmer Slowly: The key to developing deep, rich flavors is to let the sauce simmer gently. Don't rush the process!
- Consistency is King: Keep stirring occasionally and watch the sauce thicken. If it becomes too thick, you can thin it with a little water or additional whiskey.
- Taste and Adjust: Feel free to tweak the seasonings to match your personal preference. Want more heat? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper!
- Storage Tip: This sauce keeps well in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, allowing flavors to meld and develop even further.
- Versatility Hack: Use this sauce not just for grilling, but as a glaze for roasted meats, a dipping sauce for appetizers, or even a unique marinade.
