Made this BBQ on a whim for Tony Ringtail's Fur-BBQ and it was a hit. It tastes great with a sweet, smokey, and spicy flavor with mild heat. This recipe will make roughly 64oz of BBQ sauce so half the ingredients if you want to make less.

What you need:

Apple Cider Viniger

Huntz Ketchup, 24oz bottle x2 (Gotta be Huntz, no HFC's in my kitchen!)

A whole Sweet Red Onion

Peeled Garlic

Applewood Smoked Bacon

Pure Buckwheat Honey

Lime juice

Brown Sugar

Goldens Spicey Yellow Mustard

Worcestershire Sauce

Chipotle Sauce/Powder

Cayan Pepper powder

Chili Powder

Paprika Powder

Salt & Pepper (I use Sea Salt and Rainbow Pepper Corn grinders)

And of course..

Captain Morgan's Original Spiced Rum

Sailor Jerry's Spiced Rum

1) Start off by slicing your red onion and chopping a handful your garlic cloves. Get a pot and heat it up on Medium heat with a little oil spread around the bottom (I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil). Once the pot is heated throw your onion slices and chopped garlic into the pot with a little salt then slowly caramelize them.

Note: You can use Onion & Garlic Powder instead of fresh Onions & Garlic allowing you to skip this step. However, onions & garlic are cheap and readiliy available so why use the powdered stuff?

2) Once the onion & garlic mixture caramelizes and begins leaving the pot a little brown you will want to spread out the mix to make room for the bacon. Toss in a few slices of bacon and slow cook it so all the fat turns to grease. You'll want to blacken the bottom of the pan with bacon grease. This is where a lot of the flavor will come from. Remove bacon and onions once its filled with grease with the pan blackened. The garlic can stay if its not a metric ton in the pan.

Note: If you're smart you'll make a burger while doing this part as once the onions & bacon are done you can slap it on top of the burger for some good old fashioned noms. :3

3) Now take a measuring cup and fill it with a half a cup of Captain Morgan and a half a cup of Sailor Jerry's. Pour it into your pot to deglaze the pan. Use a spachela to scrape the bottom of that pot clean.

4) Once your done deglazing add your Huntz Ketchup and make sure you get everything out of the bottles you can. Stir everything well so the rum grease blends with the ketchup.

5) Now add some Apple Cider Vineger (I usually eye it, but usually looks like about 4 table spoons or so), about a table spoon of Golden's Spicey Yellow mustard, about a table spoon of Pure Buckwheat Honey, about 2 table spoons of Worcestershire Sauce, 2 big table spoons full of Brown Sugar, and about 3 teaspoons of Lime Juice.

6) Mix well then add the Chipotle Sauce or Powder, Cayan Pepper powder, Peprika powder, and Chili Powder till you get to the desired heat/spiciness. Then add Salt & Pepper to taste.

7) Let it simmer for about 10 minutes on Medium heat.

8) Place the sauce into a container of your choosing and place it into the fridge for at least 1 hour for the flavors to settle.

Now you can put it on steak, chicken, ribs, or whatever you feel would go well on the BBQ!
