Jim Beam Glaze

Got this recipe from Red Robin....YUM!

1 cup Jim Beam bourbon whiskey
1/2 cup brown sugar
Combine the brown sugar and bourbon in a 3 qt. sauce pot and bring to a boil. Simmer 2 minutes to burn off the alcohol.

Add to the pot:
1 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pinch dry mustard
salt and pepper to taste

- Whisk the ingredients together and bring to a simmer. Cook the sauce over low heat for about 5 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken slightly and the flavors have married.

- Remove the sauce from the heat and cool completely. Use to baste meat, especially chicken or salmon, while cooking

Smokey BBQ Sauce

Recipe from The Pampered Chef

I don't normally suggest buying specific spices from places, but this Smokey BBQ Rub is AMAZING! It makes fantastic BBQ sauce and you can also just sprinkle it right on meat before cooking. Definitely worth the price in my opinion!

Ingredients

1 cup ketchup

1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

2 tbsp Smokey Barbecue Rub

2 tsp cider vinegar

Directions

1. Combine ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally; remove from heat.
2. Reserve half of the sauce for serving. Brush remaining sauce over foods before baking or broiling. (For grilling, brush sauce over foods during last 10 minutes of cooking to prevent burning.)
3. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
