BEST BBQ SAUCE YOU'LL EVER TASTE (SOUTHWEST)

Steps:

• Sauté onions, bell peppers, and garlic in butter, just until onions are translucent.
• Add chili powder, and dry mustard. Stir to incorporate.
• Lower heat and add remaining ingredients. Simmer on low for at least one hour.
• Let cool then blend smooth in food processor or use a hand held mixer (a boat motor as Emeril would say).
• Put up in mason jars. If you actually "can" the sauce it will keep for a month or so. (There are no preservitives so be careful). If not, use what you need, it will keep in the fridg for a couple of weeks, and you can always give the rest away--your family and friends will love you for it.
• Note: Be careful with the habenero peppers. Use gloves or put a plastic baggie over the hand you use to hold the pepper while you slice it up. Use one for medium-hot BBQ sauce, use two for down right hot. If even one is too hot for your taste, substitute a couple of jalapeno peppers.
