One Shot Smokin', Huntin' and Fishin' Outdoor Cookin' Sauce!

Recipe #249779 | 30 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 , 1 Complete Serving (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: French Tart

The "One Shot" is a generous slug of Bourbon whiskey, (My husband's favourite tipple after Scotch Whisky!) which I think really gives this sauce a lovely mellow feel to it. The "Smokin'" comes from the addition of liquid smoke and chipotle peppers, and the rest of the title tells you this is GREAT if used whilst cooking meat, poultry, sausages or fish OUTDOORS, preferably over wood or coals! I devised this barbeque/marinade sauce some time ago, and I have decided to post it now, in order to enter the Grilling and Barbeque Forum's BBQ sauce contest! I hope you enjoy this as much as we do - happy OUTDOOR cookin'!! N.B. Quantities listed fill a large jam jar, about 20 fluid ounces - you can cut back on the ingredients to suit your requirements, but it does keep very well in the fridge.

    Used this sauce to cook an eye round roast ( 5.5 LB ) in the oven on 275 F. Cooked for 4 hours! Got a real nice BBQ'd roast in return! My family really liked the sauce! They want me to try it on chicken next! Thanks FT! Another fine recipe !

    What a great, easy sauce. We had this tonight with pork cutlets, which were enjoyed by all. I only used 3 chopotle chiles & am glad, as it wasn't overpowering. Thanks FT for sharing another winner.

    This was incredibly good on our barbecued chicken for supper tonight! I ended up making a couple substitutions (brandy for whiskey, apricot butter for jam), didn't have chipotle chiles, and left out the celery seeds on purpose (don't like 'em). This smelled SO good while it was simmering AND while it was baking on the chicken. One comment from the Peanut Gallery was that the sauce was "too red" however that person was ALSO the one who slathered on extra sauce at the table. Anyway! We loved it. Made for BBQ Contest 2007
