How to Make Anguillan Barbecue Sauce

Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped Scotch bonnet peppers. Sauté until the onions are just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, BBQ sauce, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, rum, water, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and developed rich flavor. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and taste for seasoning. Add more salt, vinegar, or brown sugar as needed.
If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Let the sauce cool slightly before storing.
Store any unused sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks.
