Hey guys thought I'd share with you my BBQ sauce recipe perfect for pork.

Apple-bourbon BBQ sauce

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 cup bourbon
1 cup apple cider vinegar
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups ketchup
3/4 cup packed golden brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 to 4 canned chipotle chillis, chopped
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped
1 lemon, cut in half

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until very tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the paprika and mustard powder.

Stir in the bourbon then the vinegar and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in the broth, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Add 2 to 4 chipotle chillis, depending on your desired heat level. Add the apples and squeeze the juice from the lemon into the sauce.

Bring the sauce to a simmer over high heat then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.

Enjoy guys
