Made a great BBQ sauce yesterday. 1/2 cup honey, 1/2 cup water (save about 2 tbsp to mix with 2 tsp cornstarch) 1 tbsp TAMARIND paste <find @ Whole foods or an Asian market> 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp molasses, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp cumin, pepper to taste. Combine in a sauce pan and whisk over med heat. Whisk in remaining water and corn starch and cook til it thickens.

The tough part was finding the tamarind paste (supposedly avail @ Whole Foods or from on-line sources) I found tamarind @ an Asian market pressed into a brick. It was cheap $1 you just had to pick put the seeds.
