How to Make Seminole Garnet Barbecue Sauce

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté 1 medium onion, finely chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, in 2 tablespoons of whiskey for 10 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup tomato paste, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon liquid smoke, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1-2 tablespoons your favorite hot pepper sauce (adjust to your spice preference).
  3. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. For a smoother sauce, carefully strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve.
