Combine onion, garlic and whiskey in a 3-quart saucepan. Saute until onion and garlic are translucent, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and light mixture; flame for 20 seconds. Add all remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then turn down mixture to a medium simmer. Simmer 20 minutes, stirring constantly.

Note: This sauce gets better with age. If time permits, keep it in the refrigerator a day or so to develop a deeper, richer taste.
