Barbecue Sauce (Mildly Spicy)

  1. Heat canola oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook for five minutes or until clear and tender, stirring, being careful not to burn.
  2. Reduce heat to low. Add all remaining ingredients and stir.
  3. Allow to simmer 20-30 minutes.
  4. Taste after simmering and adjust whatever ingredient it needs (more spice, more brown sugar to cut the spiciness, salt, etc.)
