A sublime fusion of sweet, smoky, spicy, tart and umami flavors come together in this lip-smacking, finger-licking good barbecue sauce made with Southern peaches, Kentucky Four Roses bourbon and bourbon barrel aged seasonings.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Smoky<\/p>\n

Jump to Recipe<\/a><\/p>\n

Barbecue (BBQ, barbeque) is uniquely American and\u00a0is both a cooking method and an apparatus. The generally accepted differences between barbecuing and grilling are cooking durations and the types of heat used. Grilling is generally done quickly over moderate-to-high direct heat that produces little smoke, while barbecuing is done slowly over low, indirect heat and the food is flavored by the smoking process.<\/p>\n

There are many tomes to barbecue and grilling and, of course, cooking shows and videos to enlighten you on methods and regional differences, including PBS’s Barbecue America<\/em><\/a> where host Rick Browne\u00a0travels\u00a0America\u2019s highways, back roads and bayous, exploring the country\u2019s unique contribution to the culinary landscape.<\/p>\n

\"Smoky<\/p>\n

The keys to this sublime sauce: aged Kentucky Four Roses<\/strong> bourbon, unique American-made sorghum, soy sauce, and Togarashi spice – aged in bourbon barrels from Bourbon Barrel Foods<\/strong> in Louisville, Kentucky, and Aleppo pepper in lieu of ancho, chipotle or other more commonly used dried chile peppers. Aleppo is a Turkish crushed chile\u00a0from southern Turkey, near the Syrian town of\u00a0Aleppo. It has an ancho-like flavor with a little more heat and tartness and, given the unrest in that area of the world, has been more difficult for spice shops to source, so I bought some while I could.<\/p>\n

\"Smoky<\/p>\n

Of course, you must have sweet and juicy Southern peaches. I swear that peaches grown in the South are the best! Last year, every peach I bit into, even those from my CSA and local farmers market was mealy. Homemade barbecue sauce is a perfect vehicle for bruised, not-so-pretty peaches, but mealy peaches will not do!<\/p>\n

\"Smoky<\/p>\n

Then, the trio of Bourbon Barrel Foods<\/a> artisan seasonings lends\u00a0the subtle smokiness and depth of flavor to this liquid amber deliciousness. BBF Bluegrass Soy Sauce and Kentucky Sorghum are aged in bourbon barrels which can, by law, only be used once in bourbon production, and their unique Togarashi Spice blend spends time in a custom smoker fueled by aged bourbon barrel staves.<\/p>\n

Finally,\u00a0Four Roses Bourbon Yellow<\/a> (80 proof): Created through the mingling of all 10 recipes, this Bourbon is a worldwide favorite, particularly when creating sophisticated, contemporary cocktails. Hints of pear and apple complement floral aromas and mix with a taste of honey and spice. It\u2019s taste is smooth and mellow with a unique, long and soft finish.<\/p>\n

Let’s get to the recipe already!<\/p>\n
