Source of Recipe
Internet
List of Ingredients
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped fine
12-oz can tomato paste
12 rapid dashes Tabasco
1 tsp chili powder
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1 1/3 cups brown sugar
1 Tbsp each salt & pepper
dash cinnamon
1 cup cider vinegar
Over medium heat, saute onion and garlic in the olive oil until the onions are clear. Add brown sugar and stir until melted. Add tomato paste and stir thoroughly. Add salt, pepper, Tabasco, cinnamon, chili powder and vinegar. Stir until smoothly blended. Lower heat and lightly simmer (covered) for two hours.
Options: Add a half-teaspoon of red pepper flakes, or cayenne, along with the onions for more zip. Add a tablespoon of prepared brown mustard (or a tsp Coleman's, or both) for a more complex flavor. Add molasses for deeper flavor, or liquid smoke for duskiness. Add grated lemon peel and a healthy splash of white wine for a superior chicken-barbecue.
Variations:
For a less tangy sauce, substitute half the vinegar with beer, stock, or leftover tomato soup.
