This fiery sweet-tart red sauce is smoky, tangy and has sufficient red pepper flakes to let you know it means business.

Steps:
- Place the bacon in a heavy nonreactive saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the bacon is browned, 3 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon.
- Stir in the vinegar and bring to a boil. Then stir in the ketchup, sugars, pepper flakes, black pepper, and bourbon and gradually bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce, uncovered, until thick and richly flavored, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the salt- you'll need quite a lot to offset the acidity of the vinegar. Use right away or transfer to clean jars, cover, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate. The sauce will keep for several weeks.
