One of the things I do usually is make my own rubs, sauces, and marinades. Here's one of my favourites.

Jalapeno BBQ Sauce

1 tbs canola oil
1 yellow onion, large, fine chop
4 jalapenos, large, fine chop
6 cloves, garlic, minced
1 tbs peppercorns, ground
1 tbs cumin, ground
1 tbs red pepper, ground
1 1/2 tbs paprika
1 tsp oregano, crushed
4 tbs Mexican chilies, ground
3 tbs mustard, ground
1 c cider vinegar
12 oz beer
28 oz ketchup
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c molasses
2 tbs pepper sauce
1 lime, juice
1 1/2 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tbs salt

Saute onions, garlic, and jalapenos until soft. Add all dry spices, continue to saute for around 3 minutes. Make sure and scrape the bottom while sauteing.

Deglaze pan with the vinegar.

Add remaining ingredients except for 1/4 cup molasses. Set aside molasses that is reserved.

Simmer over low heat for around 2 hours. After sauce cools, add reserved molasses and stir well.

The sauce will keep in the fridge well.
