  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     3/4  cup           peach preserves
     1/3  cup           bourbon -- preferably
                        sour mash
     1/3  cup           raspberry vinegar
                        OR other fruit vinegar
   1      tablespoon    lemon juice
     3/4  teaspoon      ground nutmeg
     1/2  teaspoon      ground cinnamon
     1/4  teaspoon      salt
     1/4  teaspoon      freshly ground pepper
     3/4  teaspoon      hot pepper sauce -- or more to taste

In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients except hot pepper sauce.
Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often, until lightly thickened, about
10 minutes. Stir in the hot pepper sauce to taste.

The sauce can be made up to a month ahead and refrigerated. Reheat before
brushing on during the last 10 minutes of grilling.


Notes: Makes about 1 l/4 cups; enough to sauce 3 pounds of ribs, 2 pounds
of drumsticks, or 2 pounds of ham steaks. This sweetly spiced sauce is just
right for a slab of ribs, a heap of drumsticks, or a hunk of ham. Tangy
vinegar cole slaw and a mess of fried onion rings complete this hearty
plate. Finish with a few hands of poker and the rest of the blackjack.
