Yield: ¾ cup

In medium saucepan, heat the veg. oil over med-high heat. Saute the onion until golden brown. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer uncovered until the sauce thickens slightly, about 20 minutes. note: "Once the brew goes in, the rather thin sauce turns absolutely black; but don't be alarmed- ribs or chicken brushed with this sauce will taste better than all right."
