Some of the best foods of summer come from the grill. The one thing that can make any grilled food good or not so much so is the sauce. I just thought I would share a recipe for a good Kentucky BBQ sauce. As we near the Independence Day and the celebrations that come with it may I recommend this sauce for your next grill-out.
                                Bourbon Chipotle BBQ Sauce
                              (can be used with the meat of your choice)
                                1 cup ketchup
                                1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
                                1/4cup water
                                1/4cup molasses
                                1/4 Kentucky bourbon
                                1 tablespoon chipotle flakes or powder
                                2 tablespoons honey
                                1 tablespoon black pepper, freshly ground
Combine all ingredients in heavy saucepan and bring to boil, lower heat and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. If possible make a day or 2 ahead and refrigerate for flavors to blend. Stir well before using.
Apply sauce to meat last 5 or 10 minutes of grilling to prevent blackening.  In oven sauce can be added sooner. Sauce heated can be used for dipping. Enjoy!
Till next time, blessings from the McGuire homestead.
