  • Use a small pot or saucepan, saute the onions in oil until tender. 
  • Add the garlic; cook for about 1 minute, then add and stir the chili powder, cayenne, and pepper; after adding the powders, ( feel free to test the mix and adjust to taste ) boil the mix for an additional minute.
  • Add in the ketchup, molasses, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and pepper sauce, then stir the mixture well.
  •  Bring the mix to a boil and stir well. 
  • Reduce heat to simmer and uncovered the saucepan for 30-40 minutes or until the sauce reaches the wanted density. 
  • After the sauce reaches an adequate thickness, let it cool down for 15 minutes.
  • Now, let’s pour the sauce into a clean container through a fine-mesh strainer.
  • You can now trash the vegetables and seasonings left in the strainer and store the sauce in an airtight container in your refrigerator.
  •  This sauce should last for about a month if place in an good container. Use as a basting brush to apply sauce to grilled meats.
