Hot and Sweet Peach Bourbon Barbeque Sauce

Sweet with a little hot bite.
Servings: About 2 cups

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 cup chopped onion

3/4 cup tomato paste

1 1/2 cups water

1/2 cup cider vinegar

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons molasses

2 tablespoons honey

1/2 cup peach preserves

1/2 cup peach bourbon (such as Southern Comfort)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon liquid smoke

1 teaspoon mustard powder

1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper (add less if you don't like it hot)

In medium saucepan, heat oil on medium high heat. Add onions and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the rest of the ingredients, stirring to combine. Heat until bubbly. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for one hour to one hour and fifteen minutes, or until mixture has thickened.

If desired, puree barbeque sauce in blender until smooth.
