2tablespoonsLard
2tablespoonsHot red chili powder
2tablespoonsMild red chili powder
1Onion -- finely chopped

Packed
¼cupBourbon
3dropsLiquid smoke

Directions

Place the lard in a large, non reactive saucepan and saute the onion and garlic until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and continue cooking for about another 30 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sauce from burning. Allow to rest for at least an hour before using.

This is a marinating or basting sauce. To marinate, coat the meat with the sauce and leave in the refrigerator, covered, over night, or about 8 to 12 hours. Continue to baste with the sauce as the meat cooks. It's NOT a table sauce, but works best when cooked into the meat. Best with pork or beef.

Makes about 2 cups.
