The combination of Kentucky Bourbon with honey makes a results in a fantastic barbecue sauce. The sort which has been used in the South for longer than people can remember. This is a spicy sauce so if you want to tone down the heat, reduce the amount of cayenne.

Boy that's HOT, Member blgraves

I followed this recipe exactly, even though I was apprehensive to putting an entire TABLESPOON of cayenne pepper. It really looked like a LOT, and it was. Man this stuff was SMOKIN hot! I like spicy foods, but this was too much. I ended up adding more sugar to offset the heat, and didn't even bother with the tabasco. But this was so YUMMY, and easy to make...I think I'll just use 1/2 the cayenne pepper!
