Guest Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Knocked this sauce up today for some lovely fat 1/2 kg (bit over a pound) dry aged t-bones I am going to throw over the coals.12 chipotle chillis - halved and seeded2 cloves garlic diced1/2 white onion sliced1 bay leave1tsp salt1tsp cracked pepper6tbsp ketchup2 cups bourbon (i used JD cos it wasnt getting drunk fast enough)1 cup water1/3 cup apple cider vinegarThrow all the above in a covered shalllow pan and simmer for an hour, you want the liquid to reduce back to about one cup, discard bay leaf and run the mix through a blender/processor/hand mixer untill it reaches your desired consistency, I like mine velvety and even added a knob of butter to give it a nice gloss. Sauce done, now a few beers before getting the coals going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskeyagonzo Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Damn. That sounds fantastic. Gonna file this one away for my future use. Thanks for sharing. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 No problems, I saw a post here the other day where someone was looking for a bourbon sauce, sounded like a good idea.I should add that this is a very savoury sauce, if you like your sauces sweet you can add a little honey during the blending stage, i tried mixing some with honey and mollasses and it worked well, it would work as a nice hot wing marinade this way.

whiskeyagonzo Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 That sounds good as well. I think would like to try it as a pork chop glaze and possibly a salmon glaze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel ya. Years ago I was cutting up some jalapeños for some salsa. Late that night I went into the bathroom to take out my contacts. BIG mistake!! Now I wear some nitrile gloves while preparing anything with hot peppers. Live and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep it in the fridge at all timesTwo cans of chipotle in adobo with a block of guava paste. Blend with a stick blender until smooth. The guava gives a hint of tropical sweetness and tames the heat a littleI also make pickled chipotles with the little red moritas. Mixed with sliced carrots and onionsAlso a staple in the fridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
