1/2 lg Onion, minced

4 Cloves Garlic, minced

3/4 c Jack Daniel's Whiskey

2 c Catsup

1/3 c Vinegar

1/4 c Worcestershire Sauce

1/2 c Brown Sugar, packed

3/4 c Molasses

1/2 ts Black Pepper

1/2 tb Salt

1/4 c Tomato Paste

2 tb Liquid Smoke

1/3 ts Tabasco

Combine onion, garlic, and Jack Daniel's Whiskey in a 3-quart saucepan. Saute' until onion and garlic are translucent, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat and light mixture; flame for 20 seconds. Add all remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a medium simmer. Simmer 20 minutes, stirring constantly. Run sauce through a medium strainer to remove onion and garlic bits if you prefer a smoother sauce. Cool and enjoy. NOTE: This sauce gets better with age. If time permits, keep it in the refrigerator a day or so to develop a deeper, richer taste.
