BLACK JACK BBQ SAUCE

Category: Sauces - BBQ

1/2 cup Jack Daniels black label whiskey
1/2 cup strong black coffee
1/2 cup DARK brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp (+ or -) hot pepper sauce
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, chopped very fine
1 1/2 tsp sweet Paprika
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp onion powder, (not salt but you can use onion flakes)
Sea salt to taste

Throw it all together and mix fairly well. Place over flame (burner) and bring to heat, Never Boil. 10 minutes. Let it sit, off heat, for 1/2 hour. Use as a mop, baste or sauce at table. If you favor a tomato based sauce, as do I, add 4 tbsp tomato paste and an extra 3 tbsp of brown sugar.
