Melt butter or margarine in a medium saucepan. Add onion and garlic sauté until onion is soft. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring sauce to a simmer; simmer 15 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat; cover and let stand at least 1 hour to let flavors blend. Use immediately or pour into a container with tight-fitting lid. Cool then cover tightly; refrigerate up to 7 days, or freeze. Use to brush on meats as they grill or serve with grilled meats.
