Homemade BBQ Sauce

This is a great homemade BBQ sauce! Its another recipe from the "Barefoot Contessa", and its quite the smattering of ingredients. She put all different types of sauces together and created this BBQ explosion. I had most of these things on hand, but did have to go purchase a few. I also must not have been awake when I started measuring, because I REALLY should have halved this one. It makes a TON of sauce!! It wasn't too bad though because I was able to freeze a large bowl of it for later... It freezes really well & we thought it tasted even better after being frozen.

We usually use this sauce on chicken, but I've also put it on baby back pork ribs. I also like it because it doesn't have a load of brown sugar like so many BBQ sauces do. Perfection!

In a large saucepan on low heat, saute onions and garlic in vegetable oil for about 10-15 minutes, or until onions are translucent.
