Jamaican Barbecue Sauce

I've changed this over the year. I started out with a fairly spicy BBQ sauce and now have wound up with a much sweeter version that I and all my guests like better. The Jamaican Chicken we find to be spicy enough. I will make as optional the parts of the recipe I no longer use.

First the ingredients:

1 1/4 cups ketchup
1/3 cup soy sauce
2T Jamaican hot pepper sauce (optional)
2T marinade from Jamaican Chicken Recipe (optional)
6 scallions (if they are small, 4 otherwise) minced
3 cloves of garlic minced
3 tablespoons fresh ginger or 3t powder
1/3 cup medium brown sugar
1/3 cup white distilled vinegar
3T rum

Combine all of the ingredients. Here again I use a Cuisinart to do that. Then I simmer but try not to boil about 10-15 minutes or until the sauce thickens and is yummer.

Use on the chicken after it has cooled unless you like hot BBQ sauce.
