BALSAMIC & BOURBON BARBECUE SAUCE



Balsamic & Bourbon Barbecue Sauce image

Balsamic vinegar gives this already very savory sauce additional depth and a rich dark color. It also helps it adhere better to grilling meat, combining with the brown sugar and soy sauce to create a nice glaze. Asian and Middle Eastern grocers sell all kinds of hot chili paste - choose the degree of fire you prefer. My fave is harissa, from Tunisia.
