quick kansas city bbq sauce

When you say barbecue sauce, this is what I think of.

– Laura

• 1.5 cups bourbon
• 1 cup ketchup
• 4 tbsp molasses
• 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp malt vinegar
• juice of half a lemon

Reduce a cup of the bourbon down almost to a glaze, maybe 2 tbsp of liquid.

Add the rest of the bourbon and pull off any solids that have begun to stick, then add everything else. Simmer until it’s reduced by a third.
