As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter...
I take no credit in the least for this in this recipe as this is TL, but this we share as I thoroughly appreciate these. There is a bbq sauce called Rufus Teague. The old black boy with bowler looks like something that came out of Cujo, but all the same it is a pretty good sauce, better than Stubbs.
Rufus T has four types, but this one is whiskey maple.
You never think of bbq carrots, but that is the thought process in this.
In crock pot you start out with 16 ounce whiskey pint bottle of Rufus Teague. Rinse the bottle out about 1/3rd as the stuff is expensive.
To this add 1/2 cup brown sugar.
3 teaspoons of beef bullion. (I am not talking that cube stuff or those crystals, but that black paste stuff which is high octane.)
2 sliced big yellow onions. (You want slices as you are going to eat them.)
3 bags of baby carrots. (Put this into a container and wash them off with warm water, letting them sit and change water a few times, to get that white film off them which turns the water cloudy.)
1/2 cup of whiskey (This one is for Jack Daniels)
As you can see this makes a few carrots, but they are blessed good carrots. Sort of fire carrots.
So you mix the Rufus, sugar and whiskey. Put a thin layer in the bottom of the crock. Then you dump the water off the carrots and dump them into the crock. Place the onion slices on top of the carrots and then pour the enhanced bbq over the carrots.
If you have any brains you will leave a pool on one end to be able to dip and baste the carrots every few hours.
Cook until it is done, and you will have whiskey carrots.
I figure you could put in washed potato wedges or like homemade fries in this too, providing the starch was off. Also works for beef, chicken, pork, sheep and I suppose African ass steaks too if you are into cannibal stuff, probably make dinosaur taste like chicken too, if you could find dinosaur or wooly mammoth if you could dig a froze one out of the tundra, but this is for carrots and I suppose if you served this at an AA meeting for drunks who did not like whiskey, they would eat their carrots and enjoy them too, but not be in danger of addiction.
This makes blessed good carrots though.....just took what a Rufus made and made it better.
