Ingredients

Scale

2 cups rhubarb (fresh or frozen) cut into 1″ pieces

1 cup water

1 large yellow onion, chopped

1 large red onion, chopped

1 Tbsp oil

6 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 1/2 Tbsp)

1 cup ketchup

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup molasses

2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce

1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

5 dashes hot sauce (such as Frank’s Red Hot), or a generous squirt of sriracha sauce

1/2 tsp pepper

1/4 to 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions

In a large saucepan, bring rhubarb and water to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until tender. Pour mixture into a blender.

In the saucepan, heat oil. Sauté chopped onion over low heat until tender, about 10 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook another 5 minutes, not allowing either to brown. Add to the blender. Blend until smooth.

Return mixture to the saucepan and add sugar, ketchup, molasses, worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, hot sauce and/or sriracha, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.

Stir in bourbon and liquid smoke. Bring just to a boil, then remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. Store in the refrigerator.
