Heat oil in saucepan and gently saute the onion, garlic and ginger until onion is translucent. Add the tomatoes, oregano, chili pieces, vinegar, honey and soy sauce. Grind the whole spices to a powder in a spice grinder or mortar and add them to the sauce. Simmer for 2 hours or more, stirring often to prevent sticking, until the sauce thickens. Strain the sauce through a fine food mill or sieve. Use immediately, refrigerate, or pack into sterilized jars for future use. Makes 1 quart, enough for 3-4 slabs of ribs or 4-6 chickens. For hotter sauce, taste halfway through cooking and add cayenne to taste, beginning with 1/4 tsp and letting sauce cook a few minutes before tasting.
