½teaspoonsalt
¼teaspoonblack pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, stir together the ketchup, Fireball whisky, brown sugar, unsalted butter, pepper jelly, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
On medium heat, bring the Fireball BBQ sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for an additional 6-8 minutes to thicken the sauce. Be sure to whisk often to prevent the sauce from burning.
Remove from the heat and allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring to a lidded container. This sauce will continue to thicken a little more as it cools.
Notes
It takes approximately 2 to 3 hours to fully cook out the alcohol from a sauce. Since Fireball whiskey is such an essential ingredient in this sauce, use discretion when serving it to minors.
This BBQ sauce can be used once cooled; however, the best results occur the next day when the flavors have had time to enhance.
