Add rest of ingredients, stir well to mix. Simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes or so, stirring ocaisionally. Serve on warmed hamburger buns or hawaiian rolls with a little american cheese if desired. *If using as a bbq sauce, simmer ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring ocaisionally. Grill meat (chicken, etc.) til just done or almost done. Baste well with sauce and cook 3-5 minutes longer. Turning and basting. **If baking instead of grilling, the bbq-style sauce can be added to the raw meat and baked the entire time at 350 degrees til done.
