In a medium saucepan, combine the blackberries, bourbon, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until it's well blended and the blackberries start to break down.

Get it simmering

Once your sauce is mixed and ready to roll, place the saucepan over medium heat. Let the sauce come to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and all the flavors meld together.

Blend it up

Once your sauce has simmered to perfection, it's time to transform it into a smooth and glorious barbecue sauce. Grab your trusty blender (or use an immersion blender) and carefully blend the sauce until it reaches your desired consistency. Be careful not to blend it too much, we still want some texture from the blackberries.
