Whiskey Barbecue Pork Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the onion, garlic, and whiskey. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until onion is translucent. Mix in the ground black pepper, salt, ketchup, tomato paste, vinegar, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and hot pepper sauce.
• Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 20 minutes. Run sauce through a strainer if you prefer a smooth sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degree F (150 degrees C).
• Cut each full rack of ribs in half, so that you have 4 half racks. Sprinkle salt and pepper (more pepper than salt), and 1 tablespoon chile pepper over meat. Wrap each half rack in aluminum foil. Bake for 2 1/2 hours.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions in oil for 5 minutes. Stir in water, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, liquid smoke, whiskey, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dark molasses, and 1/2 tablespoon ground chile pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer for 1 1/4 hours, uncovered, or until sauce thickens. Remove from heat, and set sauce aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• Remove the ribs from the oven, and let stand 10 minutes. Remove the racks from the foil, and place on the grill. Grill the ribs for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Brush sauce on the ribs while they're grilling, just before you serve them (adding it too early will burn it).

Steps:

• Spray grill rack with cooking spray. Heat gas or charcoal grill. In 1-quart saucepan, stir mustard, brown sugar, whiskey, molasses, vinegar and pepper sauce with whisk. Cook over medium-low heat 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the sauce into small bowl.
• Generously brush cut sides of onion slices and tomato halves with 2 tablespoons of the sauce in bowl. Generously brush pork chops with half of the remaining sauce in pan. Place pork, onions and tomatoes, cut sides down, on grill over medium heat. Brush tops of onions and tomatoes with remaining 2 tablespoons sauce in bowl. Brush tops of pork chops with remaining sauce in pan.
• Cover grill; cook 5 to 7 minutes, turning pork and onions once (do not turn tomatoes), until pork is no longer pink in center, onions are crisp-tender and tomatoes are tender. Discard any remaining sauce. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
