Homemade Jack Daniel’s BBQ Sauce

I love homemade BBQ sauce!  This is a recipe we recently tried and it was amazing!  I am considering making a few batches and canning it for gifts!

What you’ll need

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1/3 cup Jack Daniels (optional)
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 16-ounce glass jar

How to make it

1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Add the onion to the pan and let it cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pieces soften. This is a really important step or it will affect the flavor
2. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until well blended.
3. Simmer the sauce for 15 minutes or so, stirring occasionally.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool.
5. Pour the sauce into the jar and screw on the lid. Store the sauce in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.
