Bourbon-Apricot BBQ Sauce

If you have been reading my blog since I recently started it, you may be wondering if I make anything other than alcoholic drinks, sweets, and junk food.  Well, I do.  Here is a recipe adapted from The Pioneer Woman.  This sauce is excellent and can be used on poultry, pork, or beef.


Bourbon-Apricot BBQ Sauce

Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
1 red onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup bourbon
1 10oz jar apricot fruit spread or preserves
1 18oz bottle Sweet Baby Ray's Original BBQ sauce (or any other brand)
2 tbsp worcestershire
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 cup water


Directions:
1.  In heavy sauce pan, heat oil and butter on medium high heat.  When butter is melted, add onion and garlic to pan.  Cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

2.  Add bourbon, apricot preserves, BBQ sauce, worcestershire, dijon mustard, and water to pan, stir until evenly incorporated.  Bring sauce to a boil then let simmer for 5 minutes.
