That little splash of bourbon, just adds that something special to the sauce. Of course this is optional, but if you do add it make sure you remove the pot from the heat. Even one drop can flame up so please be careful. And for removing the silver skin, I use a pair of needle nose pliers. These do not go outside of my kitchen, but if you don’t have these you can wet some paper towels and pull it off that way. Also I should say that most of the alcohol will cook off, so if you are serving these to the young’ins you won’t have to worry.
