BBQ Sauce that is good

Here's the recipe for the BBQ sauce I use. I experimented around for a while until I found one that I liked. Other people like it too. It's fucking tasty.

Here's what you need

One Onion: Finely chopped
Four Garlic Cloves: Crushed
Two Habanero Peppers: Chopped (you can use more if you want to burn your butthole out. I prefer not to, but to each their own)

One Cup Water
Two Cups Ketchup
1/2 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
1/4 Cup Worcestershire Sauce
1/3 Cup Brown Sugar
One TBSP honey
1/4 Cup Lemon juice
1 1/2 TBSP Chili Powder (I actually do closer to 2)
1/2 to 1 TBSP Ground Cumin
3-4 dashes of Louisiana hot sauce, or you know...a shit ton more.

Heat the veggie oil in a sauce pan until it's almost smoking. You don't want it too hot or you'll burn that shit and you'll end up with that horrible deep fried garlic fries smell you get whiffs of at Safeco field. Throw in the onions, garlic, and peppers. Cook them till they become soft and fragrant.

Mix everything else up in a bowl. Then pour that stuff that is in the bowl into the sauce pan with all the other stuff. Bring it to boil, then turn it way down and let it simmer for a while.

When you're done letting it simmer, take it off the heat. Strain all those onions and stuff out. Then put all that tasty sauce into a mason jar or something.

This sauce gets better with age, so make it a few days before you actually plan to use it. It's delicious.
