Great Bourbon BBQ Sauce

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup minced onion
4 cloves of garlic
Two 8 ounce cans of tomato sauce
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 Tbs bourbon (I prefer Maker's Mark or Gentleman's Jack)
2 Tbs distilled white vinegar
2 Tbs fresh lemon juice
1 Tbs chili powder
2tsp grated orange zest
1 tsp fine sea salt
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Melt the butter over medium heat in a medium-size non reactive saucepan, add the onion and garlic, and cook, stirring, until softened.  Add the remaining igredients and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes to let the flavors develop, stirring occasionally.
