Foster's Barbecue Sauce/Marinade

I love this sauce because its thin and doesn't have a base of ketchup or mustard. Its a real barbecue marinade/sauce and made to tenderize any meat before grilling. You may also baste lightly while grilling and then serve some on the side with your meal. I found this recipe in the newspaper years ago.

1. Heat butter in large saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add onions and saute until tender, 3-5 minutes.
3. Add garlic, jalapenos, chili powder, and coriander.

7. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
