Remember these?
Bourbon Ham Balls
Ingredients
2 pounds fully cooked boneless ham
1 thick boneless pork loin chop (8 ounces)
1/2 pound bacon strips
1 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
1 cup 2% milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Oil for frying
SAUCE:
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup bourbon
2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
Directions
1. Cut ham, pork chop and bacon into 1-in. pieces; arrange in a single layer in a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. pan. Freeze 30 minutes or until partially frozen.
2. Preheat oven to 350°. Transfer meat to a food processor in batches; pulse until coarsely ground, 20-24 pulses. In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, milk and eggs. Add pork mixture; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 1-1/2-in balls.
3. In a large skillet, heat 1/4 in. of oil over medium heat. Add ham balls in batches; cook 3-4 minutes or until cooked through, turning occasionally. Remove from pan; drain on paper towels.
4. In a large bowl, whisk sauce ingredients; reserve 1 cup for serving. Add ham balls to remaining sauce, a few at a time, allowing ham balls to soak 1-2 minutes. Transfer ham balls to a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake 15-20 minutes or until heated through, brushing occasionally with remaining sauce from soaking. Serve with reserved sauce.
First law of science: don't spit into the wind.
Bacon is the duct tape of the kitchen.

There is only one recipe required for Bourbon (and very easy to remember)... Take two ice cubes and place them in a small glass. Cover with your favorite Bourbon. (Eagle Rare or Buffalo Trace). Bring to lips and sip. I once made 100 proof Bourbon balls for a x-mas party. Those that remembered, liked them.

I agree with wildtoad. "Take two ice cubes and place them in a small glass. Cover with your favorite Bourbon"

Bourbon Pecan Caramel Sauce
Author: Adapted from Jill O'Conner's book Sticky Chewy Messy Gooey
Ingredients
½ cup bourbon
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 cups white granulated sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla paste (may substitute extract)
1 cup pecans, roughly chopped and toasted
Instructions
In a high-sided saucepan, pour the bourbon and lemon juice. Gently pour the sugar into the center of the pan, allowing it to spread towards the edges--do not stir.
Cook over medium heat for 4-6 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally. Keep a close eye--the sugar can quickly burn as it changes color. When it is a dark amber, remove from heat.
Immediately add the cream--don't be alarmed as the caramel seizes and hisses. Stirring with a wooden spoon, return the pan to low heat and cook until the sauce thickens (5-10 minutes).
Add salt and vanilla, stir to combine. Add pecans.
Store sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Sauce will keep for up to 1 month.

So Magnusfide, what do you put the Sauce on? Sounds really interesting, but the only thing I can imagine it on is ice cream. Any other suggestions?

You can put it on the Bacon Bourbon Cheesecake recipe above.
Or drizzle it over plain cheesecake to dress it up.
It's a good dip for fruit and cheese bites (think fondue).
Dip cake doughnut pieces in it like a fondue.
Drizzle over a spice cake recipe with or without icing. If with icing, cream cheese holds up the best.
Drizzle on bread pudding.
Drizzle it on pumpkin bread or squash bread.
Serve buttermilk pancakes to adults drizzled with it.

Grilled Cheese with Bourbon Melted Onions
INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 large red onion
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp. bourbon
1 1/2 tsp. unsalted butter
4 tbsp. unsalted butter
12 oz. of your favorite cheeses coarsely shredded
8 slices of crusty bread
DIRECTIONS
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until caramelized and very tender. Stir in sugar, salt, and pepper. Add bourbon, scraping up all brown bits in bottom of skillet. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoon butter until melted; keep warm. (Makes about 1 cup.)
In a medium bowl, toss cheeses until well combined. Divide evenly into 4 portions; press each into a disk-like patty to fit the size of the bread slices.
Spread 1/4 cup of the onion mixture on each of 4 slices of bread.
Top each with a cheese patty and another slice of bread. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoon of the butter on 1 side of each sandwich.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Place 2 sandwiches, butter side down, in skillet. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown. While first side is cooking, spread 1 1/2 teaspoon of the butter on other side of each sandwich. Turn sandwiches and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until second side is crispy and golden brown and cheese has melted. Repeat with remaining 2 sandwiches.
