Simple and tasty barbecue sauce

This sauce goes great on nearly any form of meat especially pork, steaks, and depending on who you ask, garlic bread, risotto and even cole slaw. 

Ingredients:
1/2 Cup of light brown sugar (dark will work as well)
1/2 Cup of Heinz Ketchup
1/3 Cup Makers Mark Bourbon
2 tsp Hickory Liquid Smoke
1/4 Cup of Balsamic Vinegar

Preparation:
In a 2 qt stainless saucepan (non-stick will work but I find that the sugar caramelizes better in stainless) mix together brown sugar and ketchup over medium/high heat.  When the mixture starts to bubble, add liquid smoke and bourbon incorporating all ingredients together. Using a grill lighter, ignite the alcohol (carefully) and stir until the flames have subsided. Lower the heat to medium and pour in the balsamic vinegar and stir frequently until the sugar begins to caramelize (you will see a lot of small bubbles).  Reduce until it thickens and should coat the back of a spoon when dipped. 

Serving:
Serve warm or cold. 

Nutrition Info:
For the average serving of about a tablespoon, this is a very light sauce.
